Synopsis

Excerpt from Prisoners of War in Britain 1756 to 1815: A Record of Their Lives, Their Romance, and Their Sufferings

Second: a desire to rescue from oblivion a not unimportant and a most interesting chapter of our national history.

Whether my researches show the foregoing charge to be proven or not proven remains for my readers to judge. I can only say that I have striven to the utmost to prevent the entrance of any national bias into the presentation of the picture.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a fascinating and often overlooked aspect of British history: the treatment of prisoners of war during the period from 1756 to 1815. The author examines the accusations of brutality leveled against Britain by foreign writers, particularly the French, and weighs the evidence to determine the extent to which these accusations were justified. The book explores the complex relationship between the British and French governments and the actions of their respective officials. It investigates the systems of prisoner management, including the infamous prison hulks and land-based prisons, as well as the lives of prisoners on parole, providing a detailed account of their daily experiences and hardships. The author's research highlights the stark contrast between the often humane intentions of the governments and the reality of prisoner life, often characterized by corruption, neglect, and brutality at the hands of low-ranking officials. This book offers a poignant and revealing look at the darker side of Britain's wartime history, offering a compelling perspective on the human cost of conflict. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331055174_0
