THIS IS A YEOVIL LITERARY FESTIVAL 2022 EVENT
WESTLANDS MAIN HALL

Ben MacIntyre Colditz: Prisoners of the Castle.

The astonishing inside story, revealed for the first time in this new book by historian Ben MacIntyre, is a tale of the indomitable human spirit, but also one of snobbery, class conflict, homosexuality, bullying, espionage, boredom, insanity and farce. With access to an astonishing range of material, Macintyre reveals a remarkable cast of characters of multiple nationalities hitherto hidden from history, with captors and prisoners living for years cheek-by-jowl in a thrilling game of cat and mouse.

Ben Macintyre is the multimillion-copy bestselling author of books including Agent Sonya, SAS: Rogue Heroes, The Spy and the Traitor, Agent Zigzag and Operation Mincemeat. He is a columnist and Associate Editor at The Times, and has worked as the newspaper's correspondent in New York, Paris and Washington.
