Publisher's Synopsis

Captivity And Escape is a memoir written by Jean Martin and published in 1918. The book recounts the author's experience as a prisoner of war during World War I. Martin was a French soldier who was captured by the Germans and held captive for several months. The book details his time in captivity, the conditions he faced, and his eventual escape. Martin describes the daily life of a prisoner, including the lack of food and medical care, and the constant fear of punishment. He also recounts his daring escape, which involved crawling through a tunnel and navigating through enemy territory. Captivity And Escape provides a vivid and personal account of the realities of war and the resilience of the human spirit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
