Violence against Prisoners of War in the First World War: Britain, France and Germany, 1914–1920 - Studies in the Social and Cultural History of Modern Warfare
Jones, Heather (Dr, London School of Economics and Political Science)
This groundbreaking study provides the first in-depth examination of violence against First World War prisoners. It shows how the war radicalised captivity treatment in Britain, France and Germany and dramatically undermined international humanitarian law, and reveals how prisoners were often retained to labour directly for the armies of their captors.
