This book focuses on the British Merchant Navy prisoners-of-war and is partly based on contemporary diaries hidden from the Germans. Other aspects of the war discussed include the activities of the German navy, the role of the BBC, how the prisoners knew what was happening in the war, the Nuremberg trials and the human cost of the conflict.
This ground-breaking book takes an insightful and close "New Look" at one of the most fascinating subjects of the Civil War—the long-overlooked battlefield contributions of the most forgotten fighting men of the Civil War, Black Confederates.
