What was the reality of their captivity? Beyond Surrender presents for the first time the diversity of the Australian 'behind-the-wire' experience, dissecting fact from fiction and myth from reality. Beyond Surrender examines the impact that different types of camps, commandants and locations had on surrender, survival, prison life and the prospects of escape. It considers the attitudes of Australian governments to those who had surrendered, the work of relief agencies and the agony of families waiting at home for their husbands, brothers and fathers to be freed.Covering several conflicts and diverse sites of captivity, Beyond Surrender showcases new research from Kate Ariotti, Joan Beaumont, Lachlan Grant, Jeffrey Grey, Karl James, Jennifer Lawless, Peter Monteath, Melanie Oppenheimer, Aaron Pegram, Lucy Robertson, Seumas Spark and Christina Twomey. 606 $aPrisoners of war$zAustralia 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xPrisoners and prisons, Australian 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xPrisoners and prisons, Australian 606 $aKorean War, 1950-1953$xPrisoners and prisons, Australian 607 $aAustralia$xHistory, Military$y20th century 615 0$aPrisoners of war 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xPrisoners and prisons, Australian. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xPrisoners and prisons, Australian. 615 0$aKorean War, 1950-1953$xPrisoners and prisons, Australian. 676 $a355.1296 702 $aBeaumont$b Joan 702 $aGrant$b Lachlan$f1982- 702 $aPegram$b Aaron 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970675503321 996 $aBeyond surrender$94319431 997 $aUNINA
