Prisoners of war, prisoners of peace captivity, homecoming, and memory in World War II

Moore, Bob, 1954- (Added Author). Hately-Broad, Barbara. (Added Author). International Committee for the History of the Second World War. (Added Author).

Summary: Millions of servicemen of the belligerent powers were taken prisoner during World War II. Until recently, the popular image of these men has been framed by tales of heroic escape or immense suffering at the hands of malevolent captors. For the vast majority, however, the reality was very different.
