Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book delves into the troubling phenomenon of Australian soldiers' refusal to take prisoners during World War I, exploring both the victims and perpetrators of this practice. Despite being against the rules of war, such acts were common in the trenches between 1915-18. Through a variety of sources, including official histories and personal accounts, the author examines the prevalence of these unlawful behaviors and the complexities surrounding surrender and the prisoner of war experience. Dr. Dale Blair, a seasoned historian, provides a critical perspective on this grim aspect of the war.
