Lloyd, Clive L. A History of Napoleonic and American Prisoners of War 1756 - 1816 - Hulk, Depot and Parole ; The Arts and Crafts of Napoleonic and American Prisoners of War: Arts, Crafts and Occupations vol. 2: 1756 -1816 ; 2 Volume Box Set
Woodbridge (Suffolk) Antique Collector's Club 2007 1851495401 / 9781851495405 First Edition Slipcase Fine Fine 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall
2 volumes, presented in a gilt lettered slipcase. 384 + 334 pp. Part One tells of the various wars that saw the men, from many different countries, become prisoners. Tales of individuals and their voyages, mutinies, fortunes and failures also feature, adding more personal touches to the history and, as with the author's other title, all the accounts are written in a highly evocative style. Part Two is largely devoted to the prison hulks, describing the vessels and the conditions on board that the prisoners would have had to endure. Many of these hulks were former warships. Now stripped of all their equipment, and with their masts, sails and rigging removed, they sat disabled offshore, filled with their human cargo. Part Three concerns itself primarily with the depots and prisons on land, beginning with a general overview, and going on to explore in greater detail individual establishments and the conditions within. The final three chapters in this section deal with the terms and conditions of various types of parole - many officers granted parole were able to live almost as free men, as long as they did not take up arms against their captors - as well as the punishments to be expected should parole be broken. Written with numerous personal accounts, and drawing upon many years of painstaking and dedicated research, this important book fills a significant gap in the literature of military history. 1a
