ILLUSTRATED WITH never-beforeseen photographs and sketches, Captured Lives provides an insider’s look into life in the internment and prisoner-of-war camps that were spread across Australia during the two world wars. The book explores the POWs’ stories, and the ways they relieved their discomfort (physical and mental) and their boredom through creative pursuits, sports and gardening.
