Sinopsis

"Prisoner Of War" offers a gripping exploration into the harrowing experiences of soldiers held captive during major conflicts of the 20th and 21st centuries, with a focus on World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. It examines the brutal conditions endured within prison camps, highlighting the psychological impact of captivity and the extraordinary resilience displayed by POWs. The book underscores how survival often hinged on maintaining morale and organizing resistance, sometimes through daring escape attempts. It delves into the evolution of POW camps, as well as the treatment of prisoners as dictated by the Geneva Conventions. Despite these agreements, POWs frequently faced starvation, forced labor, and psychological manipulation. The book analyzes the long-term effects of captivity, such as PTSD, and explores the challenges of reintegration into civilian life. Drawing on archival documents, personal memoirs, and medical research, "Prisoner Of War" provides a comprehensive and empathetic portrayal of the POW experience, revealing the enduring strength of the human will in the face of oppression. The book unfolds in three parts, addressing the historical context, the lived experiences of prisoners, and the lasting psychological and physical effects of captivity. By combining historical analysis with personal narratives, it offers valuable insights for history enthusiasts, military personnel, and anyone interested in stories of survival against all odds.
