Prisoners of the Castle: An Epic Story of Survival and Escape from Colditz, the Nazis’ Fortress Prison 

byBen Macintyre

In this gripping narrative, Ben Macintyre tackles one of the most famous prison stories in history and makes it utterly his own. Using scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, Prisoners of the Castle moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Prisoners of the Castle within history and social science, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. Prisoners of the Castle emphasizes the specific circumstances that made this story possible and the consequences that followed.
