Captured! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025537245)

"Captured!" is a powerful and evocative firsthand account of life as a prisoner of war during the First World War. Written by Ferdinand Huszti Horvath, who served as an officer in the Austro-Hungarian army, the work provides a vivid portrayal of the chaos of the Eastern Front and the subsequent hardships of captivity. The narrative delves into the psychological and physical toll of being caught behind enemy lines, offering readers a unique perspective on the Great War from the viewpoint of a Hungarian soldier.

Through gripping prose, the work captures the tension of battle, the moment of surrender, and the long, arduous years spent in Russian prison camps. Horvath's account is not merely a record of events but a profound exploration of human resilience and the will to survive under dire circumstances. "Captured!" stands as a significant historical document that illuminates the often-overlooked experiences of Central Powers soldiers during one of the most transformative periods in modern history. This memoir is essential reading for those interested in military history, personal narratives of survival, and the complex realities of the 1914-1918 conflict.
