Item description from seller

First edition. 8vo. pp.251 + map, black & white photograph including appendix. Some chipping to top of dust jacket (see photographs) and some foxing to foredges white speckled discolouration to boards else very good. Blue cloth hardcover in original typographical dust wrapper. "The Spirit in the Cage" is an autobiographical book by Peter Churchill, a British Special Operations Executive (SOE) officer during World War II. The book details Churchill's capture by the Gestapo in 1943 and his subsequent imprisonment in various concentration camps, including Fresnes, Mauthausen, and Dachau. Churchill's narrative provides a gripping and poignant account of his experiences as a prisoner of war, highlighting the resilience and indomitable spirit of those who endured captivity under the Nazis. Despite the harsh conditions and constant threats, Churchill's story is one of courage, hope, and the enduring human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity.
