{"product_id":"prisoners-of-war-and-their-captors-in-bob-moore-9781859731529","title":"Prisoners-Of-War and Their Captors in World War II","description":"During World War II, captured service personnel of all the belligerent powers found themselves incarcerated as prisoners of war. Although the number of POWs ran into the millions, comparatively little has been written about them. This timely collection examines individual prisoners' experiences, but also provides an overview and synthesis of some of the most heated debates in the field.Casting new light on the racial and ideological assumptions of captors, authors show how axis powers and the Japanese dealt with Black African and African American troops who were taken prisoner. Political considerations are shown to have proven weightier than, in many cases, heinous crimes against humanity. Also highlighted is the history of Italian POWs in allied hands, the treatment of axis prisoners in Britain and the complex story of Free and Vichy French servicemen fighting each other in Africa.This important book will be essential and compulsive reading for students and scholars of the Second World War and will signpost areas worthy of further inquiry for many years to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bob Moore, Kent Fedorowich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 185973152X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781859731529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berg 3pl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 5.60w x 0.81d","brand":"Bob Moore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074042556671,"sku":"9781859731529","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8c0da389-b899-4bd4-9fb4-bfdc572fbeb2.jpg?v=1685451435","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/prisoners-of-war-and-their-captors-in-bob-moore-9781859731529","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
