Description

Enemy Among Us POWs in Missouri During World War II provides a convincing argument for the humane treatment of prisoners. Through outside human contacts, not all of which were officially sanctioned, both captors and captives learned to respect and even to like each other. Effectively using oral histories, memoirs, letters, newspaper accounts, and government documents, David Fiedler has written a moving and human account of what it meant to be a POW in W W II in Missouri, both for the 15,000 German and Italian prisoners and for the camp officials and civilians who interacted with them. 457/Hardbound/Illustrations/Photographs.
