In this frank and beautifully written novel, Tatamkhulu Afrika revisits his experiences as an allied prisoner of war after the fall of Tobruk in North Africa in 1942. The book reveals the complex rituals of camp life and the diversion of the POW theatre. It lays bare the terrible cruelties, but also the strange loyalties and deep bonds the men know will never be replicated when they return home.
