The History of Ruhleben: A Record of British Organization in a Prison Camp in Germany is a book written by Joseph Powell and published in 1919. The book provides a detailed account of the experiences of British prisoners of war who were interned at the Ruhleben camp in Germany during World War I. The author, who was himself a prisoner at the camp, describes the conditions of the camp, the daily routines of the prisoners, and the various activities and organizations that were established by the prisoners to alleviate the boredom and monotony of camp life. The book also provides insight into the relationships between the prisoners and their German captors, as well as the efforts made by the British government to secure the release of the prisoners. The History of Ruhleben is a valuable historical document that sheds light on a little-known aspect of the First World War and provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of prisoners of war during that time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
