Studies in the Social and Cultural History of Modern Warfare synopsis

This is the leading history of the experience of British prisoners of war in Europe during the Second World War, where they focus on how they deal with the issue of prison in wartime. Claire Makepeace reveals the ways in which prisoners of war responded psychologically to surrender, the intimate and individual friendship that dominated life in the camps, and how, in their imagination, they constantly violated the perimeter of barbed wire to be with their loved ones at home.

Through diaries, letters and record books written by seventy-five prisoners of war, along with psychiatric research and reports, she explores the mental strains that have torn the minds of prisoners and the challenges they faced when returning home. The book tells the story of the prison in wartime through the love, fear, illusions, loneliness, frustration and guilt felt by these men, shedding new light on what the experience of the families of these men meant during the war and after their liberation..
