More about the book
The narrative delves into the Dartmoor War Prison's unique role during the Napoleonic Wars as a facility for French and American prisoners of war, rather than common criminals. Over six and a half years, it housed over 20,000 captives, and the book utilizes a variety of contemporary records and personal accounts to illuminate its administration, design, and the prisoners' experiences. It highlights the complex interplay between the captives and their captors, revealing a story of ambition overshadowed by neglect and suffering.
