- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is well researched and the topic well documented. Prince accessed records in Switzerland and elsewhere to corroborate the details of the internment of hundreds of American airmen during WW2. The topic was not well understood until many years after the war -- not the least because both the American and Swiss governments did not wish for it to be. Her work and the firsthand testimony of those who were Swiss internees sheds light on the topic.
