'This is history as it ought to be - gripping, dynamic, vividly written' Marcus Rediker The War of 1812 - the last time Britain and America went to war with each other. A myriad of races and backgrounds, with some prisoners as young as thirteen. British redcoats torch the White House and six thousand American sailors languish in the world's largest prisoner-of-war camp, Dartmoor.
Yet prisoners taught each other foreign languages and science, put on plays and staged boxing matches. Known as the 'hated cage', Dartmoor wasn't a place you'd expect to be full of life and invention. In daring efforts to escape they lived every prison-break cliche - how to hide the tunnel entrances, what to do with the earth...
Drawing on meticulous research, The Hated Cage documents the extraordinary communities these men built within the prison - and the terrible massacre that destroyed these worlds.
