About This Book

The author chronicles his capture and internment in several German prison camps, tracing daily routines, shortages, and the physical and psychological effects of confinement. He describes communal coping through lectures, concerts, amateur theatre, sketching, and informal societies, alongside funerals, parcels from home, and attempts to escape. Episodes include encounters with guards, raids that bring down enemy airmen, and the shifting mood during the German Revolution in Berlin, culminating in the loosening of restraints and eventual release. Interspersed observations and illustrations record camp personalities, small kindnesses, and the strains of war on prisoners and captors alike.
