This is the first book on these German prisoners, almost a century after the conflict. The book covers the three different types of internees in Britain in the form of: civilians already present in the country in August 1914; civilians brought to Britain from all over the world; and combatants. Using a vast range of contemporary British and German sources the volume traces life experiences through initial arrest and capture to life behind barbed wire to return to Germany or to the remnants of the ethnically cleansed German community in Britain. The book will prove essential reading for anyone interested in the history of prisoners of war or the First World War and will also appeal to scholars and students of twentieth-century Europe and the human consequences of war. 606 $aPrisoners of war$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPrisoners of war$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xPrisoners and prisons, German 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xPrisoners and prisons, British 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aBritain. 610 $aFirst World War. 610 $acivilians. 610 $acombatants. 610 $aimprisonment. 610 $aincarcerations. 610 $aprisoners. 610 $asoldiers. 610 $awartime experience. 610 $awestern front. 615 0$aPrisoners of war$xHistory 615 0$aPrisoners of war$xHistory 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xPrisoners and prisons, German. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xPrisoners and prisons, British. 676 $a940.5 700 $aPanayi$b Panikos$0305399 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796854003321 996 $aPrisoners of Britain$93699565 997 $aUNINA
