During the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, over 200,000 prisoners of war of many nationalities were brought to Britain to be held in the infamous prison hulks, land prisons and parole depots, many languishing in captivity for over ten years. In the first detailed study of the lives of these prisoners, Paul Chamberlain examines in detail every aspect of their story: their prisons, their captors and their legacy of place names and monuments, and the extraordinary artefacts they created.
