Prisoners of the Castle **FLAT-SIGNED**by author, Ben Macintyre 1st Edition

Description: Benedict Richard Pierce Macintyre (b. 1963) is a British author, reviewer and columnist for The Times newspaper. His columns range from current affairs to historical controversies. He is the author of 15 books including A Spy Among Friends: Kim Philby and the Great Betrayal (2014) and Agent Zigzag: The True Wartime Story of Eddie Chapman: Lover, Betrayer, Hero, Spy (2007). In PRISONERS OF THE CASTLE: AN EPIC STORY OF SURVIVAL AND ESCAPE FROM DOLDITZ, THE NAZIS’ FORTRESS PRISON, 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 captives. For four years, these prisoners test the castle’s walls and guards with ingenious escape attempts that would become legendary. But as Macintyre shows, the story of Colditz was about much more than escape. Its population represented society in miniature, replete with heroes and traitors, class conflicts and secret alliances, and the full range of human emotion, from joy to despair. 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.
