"Macintyre has a knack for finding the most fascinating story lines in history."David Grann, author of The Wager and Killers of the Flower Moon In this gripping narrative, Ben Macintyre tackles one of the most famous prison stories in history and makes it utterly his own. During World War II, the German army used the towering Colditz Castle to hold the most defiant Allied prisoners. For four years, these prisoners of the castle tested its walls and its guards with ingenious escape attempts that would become legend. But as Macintyre shows, the story of Colditz was about much more than escape. Its population represented a society in miniature, full of heroes and traitors, class conflicts and secret alliances, and the full range of human joy and despair. In Macintyre's telling, Colditz's most famous nameslike the indomitable Pat Reidshare glory with lesser known but equally remarkable characters like Indian doctor Birendranath Mazumdar whose ill treatment, hunger strike, and eventual escape read like fiction; Florimond Duke, America's oldest paratrooper and least successful secret agent; and Christopher Clayton Hutton, the brilliant inventor employed by British intelligence to manufacture covert escape aids for POWs. Prisoners of the Castle traces the war's arc from within Colditz's stone walls, where the stakes rose as Hitler's war machine faltered and the men feared that liberation would not come soon enough to spare them a grisly fate at the hands of the Nazis. Bringing together the wartime intrigue of his acclaimed Operation Mincemeat and keen psychological portraits of his bestselling true-life spy stories, Macintyre has breathed new life into one of the greatest war stories ever told.

But that tale contains only part of the truth. The astonishing inside story, revealed here for the first time by bestselling historian Ben Macintyre, is a thrilling tale of the indomitable human spirit, but also one of class conflict and sexual liaisons, bullying and espionage, insanity and farce. From eminent officers - some of the greatest escapers of all - to their long-suffering orderlies, the prisoners of Colditz Castle created an eccentric world within a hilltop cage, a world apart that was divided over politics, sexuality and race, with a distinct language, theatrical shows and even its own Olympics. Deeply researched and full of incredible stories of heroes who were also human, this is classic Ben Macintyre - and the definitive book on Colditz.'

First edition of this military history of the prisoners in Colditz Castle during World War II. Octavo, original publisher's black cloth, pictorial endpapers, illustrated with photographs. Boldly signed and dated by Ben Macintyre in the year of publication, "Ben Macintyre 14/9/22." Fine in a fine dust jacket. Colditz: Prisoners of the Castle (2022) by Ben Macintyre is a work of narrative military history that examines Allied captivity and resistance through the microcosm of Colditz Castle, the German high-security prisoner-of-war camp for âincorrigibleâ escapees during the Second World War. Drawing on archival materials, memoirs, and personal testimony, Macintyre reconstructs the prisonâs social world and the strategic ingenuity of repeated escape attempts, while also attending to the psychological pressures of confinement and surveillance. The book balances suspenseful storytelling with historical interpretation, using individual lives and small acts of defiance to illuminate larger questions of morale, propaganda, and the ethics of wartime endurance.
