Relying mainly on interviews because of the lack of records available to researchers, the author discusses the prisoner-of-war camp in Stark, New Hampshire, for German soldiers. Many soldiers placed there were captured in Africa, often willingly surrendering to the Allied Forces. The camp was housed in an abandoned CCC camp, and the soldiers mainly worked in the forest. They got along better with the local people than many did, and they were generally well-treated with a few exceptions, especially when Americans were inclined to treat Germans less kindly. While this is intended as an academic treatment, I think a work of historical fiction or a more popular volume on this topic would serve the public well. ( )
