Subject	"Approximately nine million soldiers fell into enemy hands from 1914-1918, but historians have only recently begun to recognize the prisoner of war's significance to the history of World War I. Focusing on the experiences of the more than 132,000 German military prisoners held in the United Kingdom, military historian Brian Feltman explores the crucial importance of emasculation to military captivity"-- Provided by publisher.
