About this product
Product Information
For many of us, the very expression 'Concentration Camp' is inextricably linked to Nazi Germany and the horrors of the Holocaust. The idea of British concentration camps is a strange and unsettling one. It was however the British, rather than the Germans, who were the chief driving force behind the development and use of concentration camps in the Twentieth Century. The operation by the British army of concentration camps during the Boer War led to the deaths of tens of thousands of children from starvation and disease. More recently, slave-labourers confined in a nationwide network of camps played an integral role in Britain's post-war prosperity. In 1947, a quarter of the country's agricultural workforce were prisoners in labour camps. Not only did the British government run their own concentration camps, they willingly acquiesced in the setting up of such establishments in the United Kingdom by other countries. During and after the Second World War, the Polish government-in-exile maintained a number of camps in Scotland where Jews, communists and homosexuals were imprisoned and sometimes killed. This book tells the terrible story of Britain's involvement in the use of concentration camps, which did not finally end until the last political prisoners being held behind barbed wire in the United Kingdom were released in 1975. This book details some of the most shocking and least known events in British history. AUTHOR: Simon Webb is the author of a number of non-fiction books; ranging from academic works on education to popular history. He also writes for various magazines and newspapers, including The Daily Telegraph, Times Educational Supplement and The Independent SELLING POINTS: . Describes in detail the concentration camps run in Scotland, which held Jews, communists and homosexuals. . Explains how the British army reopened Belsen Concentration Camp after the end of the Second World War and used it to keep Jews prisoner. . Reveals Britain's reliance upon slave-labour in the late 1940s and tells the story of the labour camps which held a quarter of a million men. . Shows that it was Britain, rather than Germany, which was responsible for the widespread use of the concentration camp during the Twentieth Century

The book is in "reasonable" condition! not vg condition as described- front cover permanent fold over on arrival, packed this way ? pages are yellowing. Seller may be best to place a description "proper" of actual book being sold on the listing with photos so buyers know what they are receiving for the price paid.
