Description
During the four years of the American Civil War, over 400,000 soldiers?one in every seven who served in the Union and Confederate armies?became prisoners of war. Sanders shows how policies developed during the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Mexican War shaped the management of Civil War prisons. While in the Hands of the Enemy offers a groundbreaking revisionist interpretation of the Civil War military prison system, challenging historians to rethink their understanding of nineteenth-century warfare.

When the Germans crashed through American lines during what became known as the “Battle of the Bulge,” in December 1944, thousands of stunned American soldiers who had never before been in combat were taken prisoner. The incarceration at Berga is the only known instance of captured American soldiers being turned into slave laborers at a Nazi concentration camp. Only the timely arrival of an American armored division at war’s end saved them all from certain death.Strangely, when the war was over, many of the Americans who had survived Berga were required to sign a “security certificate” which forbade them from ever disclosing the details of their imprisonment at Berga.

The Fallen : A True Story Of American POWs And Japanese Wartime Atrocities

Attribution
Marc Landas
Publication Details
Book, Wiley, 2004
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
Almost sixty years after the fact, revisionists continue to deny these horrors, but The Fallen provides indisputable evidence that Japan had indeed subjected American POWs to live medical experiments?such as mutilating their organs, draining their blood, and pumping seawater into their veins. Landas?s meticulous and imaginative detective work reconstructs a long-buried investigation that implicates not just a few rogue soldiers but Japanese scientists, professors, and politicians, abetted by an American cover-up at the highest levels.
