War Inside – New Zealand Prisoners of War Tell Their Stories

Description ISBN: 9780473674052Title: War Inside – New Zealand Prisoners of War Tell Their StoriesAuthor: LIDDLE STEVE How do you survive imprisonment in war? How do you live afterwards? Each of these first-hand accounts by WWII prisoners of war provides unique insights into these questions. They also take readers back to a century of world wars, the collapse of civilised values, and eventual discovery of trauma’s intergenerational impacts. In 30 interviews Steve Liddle records a wide range of POW testimonies – including those of nine widows. From twins who survived concentration camps, soldiers captured in Greece, Crete and North Africa, the sister of a resistance fighter in Amsterdam, an Italian sailor met by chance in a Roman Street, each interview reveals the triumphs – and limits – of the human spirit. And a much better understood toll of the war inside. Format: PaperbackPublication date: 01/04/2023Pages: 294Available stock: 3
