Captives of War by historian Clare Makepeace draws on diaries and letters to trace what life was really like for British POWs in Nazi Europe. This 2017 Cambridge University Press hardcover, still in its crisp dust jacket, preserves every detail of their daily routines, hopes and fears.
From Stalag boredom to forced marches, Makepeace blends military history with personal biography, giving voice to men whose stories rarely appear in broader WWII accounts. Readers interested in true military stories, prison-camp sociology or Second World War history will find fresh insight on every page.
The book is in very good, smoke-free condition with clean, tidy pages ready for immediate reading or gift-giving. A reliable addition to any World War II, historical or military biography collection.
