Prisoners of the Castle

In 'Prisoners of the Castle', Ben Macintyre delves into the story of Colditz Castle, a notorious Nazi prison, where Allied prisoners, known for their escape attempts, formed a miniature society filled with heroes, traitors, and diverse characters.

The book explores the prisoners' ingenious escape strategies, their psychological struggles, and the broader context of World War II. Macintyre challenges the myth of Colditz by presenting a nuanced portrayal of life within the prison walls.
