Prisoners of Britain: German civilian and combatant internees during the First World War.

This 130,000 word narrative is the first book on the history of prisoners of War in Britain between 1914 and 1919, a century after the Great War. It is based upon a vast range of archival papers and contemporary published official and unofficial material. The gathering of the information necessitated visits to Bedford, Berlin, Douglas, Freiburg, Hull, Leipzig, London and Stuttgart over the course of eighteen months, funded with a British Academy Small Grant. Panayi utilised 15 different archives and several libraries which held original narratives published either during or shortly after the Great War.
