Here recalcitrant German prisoners of war were subjected to "special intelligence treatment." The stakes were high: the war's outcome could hinge on obtaining information German prisoners were determined to withhold. After the war, high-ranking Nazi war criminals were housed in the Cage, revamped as an important center for investigating German war crimes. This riveting book reveals the full details of operations at the London Cage and subsequent efforts to hide them. Helen Fry's extraordinary original research uncovers the grim picture of prisoners' daily lives and of systemic Soviet-style mistreatment. The author also provides sensational evidence to counter official denials concerning the use of "truth drugs" and "enhanced interrogation" techniques. Bringing dark secrets to light, this groundbreaking book at last provides an objective and complete history of the London Cage. 600 10 $a Scotland, Alexander Paterson, $d 1882-1965. 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 0 $a Military interrogation $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Military intelligence $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z London $z London $x Prisoners and prisons. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Great Britain $x Prisoners and prisons. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Prisoners and prisons, German. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $z Germany. 650 0 $a War criminals $z Germany. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Secret service $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Military intelligence $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Military interrogation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01021290 650 7 $a Secret service. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01110661 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013404.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20180206012842.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171205012248.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5357EB96C38A11E7B100357297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
