Abstract:
The review finds that the book contains valuable research about POW families and the interface between the Home Front, the British government, relevant voluntary international organisations like the Red Cross, and the situation of captive servicemen. There is a critique of the author’s methodology and an assessment of her pessimistic interpretation of the admittedly fraught experience of being a relative of a prisoner of war
