"Sales/posting to the USA suspended". Card covers, xvi/294pp. Very light wear to card edges; a fine copy. Over the twentieth century 35,000 Australians suffered as prisoners of war in conflicts ranging from World War I to Korea. What was the reality of their captivity? A number of writers look at the diversity of the Australian 'behind-the-wire' experience, dissecting fact from fiction and myth from reality. The papers examine the impact that different types of camps, commandants and locations had on surrender, survival, prison life and the prospects of escape, and they consider the attitudes of Australian governments to those who had surrendered, the work of relief agencies and the agony of families waiting at home for their husbands, brothers and fathers to be freed. Includes papers by Beaumont, Grant, and Pegram, as well as Jennifer Lawless, Kate Ariotti, Melanie Openheimer, Karl James, Peter Monteath, Seumus Spark, Lucy Robertson, Jeffrey Grey (with John MacKay and Ron Guthrie) and Christina Twomey.…
