The Trauma of Captivity delves into a neglected facet of the experience of being a prisoner of war: the homecoming. Through the use of primary source archive content and in-depth interviews with family members of Second World War prisoners of war, as well as the personal diary entries of a First World War prisoner of war, this book seeks to answer the pressing question: what transpired upon the return of prisoners of war to their homes? The sons and daughters of returned prisoners of war openly share their distressing accounts of growing up with a parent who had been taken captive. Furthermore, The Trauma of Captivity includes a comprehensive interview with contemporary prisoner of war John Peters, a RAF fast jet pilot who was captured when his Tornado plane crashed in the desert during the Gulf War.
The central focus of The Trauma of Captivity lies in exploring the various forms of assistance and support provided to returning prisoners of war and the challenges they faced in reintegrating into society. The book sheds light on the struggles and hardships encountered by these individuals as they navigated the complex process of readjustment and rebuilding their lives. It also examines the societal attitudes and reactions towards prisoners of war upon their return, highlighting the discrimination and prejudice they often faced.
Through its comprehensive analysis, The Trauma of Captivity offers a valuable contribution to our understanding of the enduring impact of war on individuals and communities. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served and the challenges they faced upon their return home. By shedding light on the forgotten experiences of prisoners of war, this book contributes to a broader appreciation of the complexities and nuances of war and its aftermath.
