Rating:
Summary: A very highly recommended photo history
Review: The collaborative work of decorated combat photographer Angelo M. Spinelli and Lewis H. Carlson (Professor Emeritus of History at Western Michigan University), Life Behind Barbed Wire: The Secret World War II Photographs Of Prisoner of War is the amazing and original collection 100 impossible to forget images that preserve a portrait of what an American soldier's life was like when held in captivity by German forces in World War II. The text goes in fascinating and informative detail concerning ways the prisoners struggled to survive, ranging from attempts to cook what delicacies they could from red cross rations, snow, and margarine; to coping with vermin infestations; even trading with their captors. Life Behind Barbed Wire is a very highly recommended photo history of enduring through difficult times and circumstances.
