Summary "A Prisoner in Turkey" by John Still is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative details the experiences of British soldiers who were captured and imprisoned during World War I in Turkey, specifically highlighting the contradictory treatment they received from their captors. The author presents a first-hand account of war, captivity, and the conditions faced by prisoners, exploring themes of survival, human rights, and the complexities of war. The opening of the book introduces the audience to the harrowing experience of British troops during the Gallipoli Campaign, focusing on one officer’s perspective as he discusses the events leading to his capture. As he and his fellow soldiers attempt a dangerous assault, they encounter relentless enemy fire, resulting in their surrender. The narrative vividly portrays their chaotic descent following their capture, initial interactions with Turkish soldiers, and the juxtaposition of mundane occurrences against the backdrop of war. It sets the tone for a detailed exploration of their imprisonment, conditions in the camps, and the overarching struggle for dignity amid dehumanizing circumstances.
