The Stigma of Surrender: German Prisoners, British Captors, and Manhood in the Great War and Beyond

Approximately nine million soldiers fell into enemy hands from 1914 to 1918, but historians have only recently begun to recognise the prisoner of war's significance to the history of the Great War. Examining the experiences of the approximately 130,000 German prisoners held in the UK during World War I, this book brings wartime captivity back into focus.
