Publisher's Note
During the Second World War, Germany captured nearly 94,000 American soldiers, while the Allies shipped almost 380,000 Germans to the United States. "We Were Each Other's Prisoners" compares, for the first time ever, stories of POWs from both sides of the conflict: From the anti-Nazi German soldier who tried desperately to turn himself in rather than fight for Hitler, to the US prisoner who thrice escaped his German captors--the last time to join Russian troops in the Battle of Berlin, to the Jewish-American prisoner who was sent to a slave labor camp. Culled from more than 150 interviews with 35 American and German surviving POWs, the book addresses larger political and psychological issues: What does it mean to be a prisoner, especially for men whose cultures prize individual heroism?

Industry reviews
'Lewis Carlson's book has kept me up several nights--an acid test. I've found it illuminating, tough, often devastating."
Ad. - Paul Fussell 

"A stunning job of research and analysis....Offers powerful and lasting insights into the social dynamics of war, so well that it must be considered a classic of modern oral history."
Ad. - Robert C. Doyle
