The German Prisoner, Paperback / softback Book

The German Prisoner Paperback / softback

Part of the Exile Classics series series

Paperback / softback

Description

Brilliant in its stark depiction of trench warfare in World War I, this lost classic was privately printed in a limited edition in 1930.

British censors initially suppressed the short novel because of its tough antiwar views and sympathetic portrayals of German soldiers, and even today's readers may be unprepared for its scenes of horrific battlefield carnage and men driven to madness by relentless psychological stress.

Providing a new view of an underappreciated Canadian author, the book also stands as a fascinating addition to the comparatively small shelf of literature by writers who fought in the Great War.
