INTERROGATION, INCLUDING PRISONER OF WAR, CODE OF CONDUCT, AND ESCAPE LITERATURE

In the post-Iraq war, issues related to prisoners of war, Geneva Convention and rights of prisoners, and interrogation processes have become lightning-rod issues of public attention. Indeed, there has probably been more comprehensive coverage of such matters in the period 2003-2004 involving a very small number of participants – both POW’s and captors – than there has been in far longer periods (e.g., the American POW’s in North Vietnam) and in far larger numbers (e.g., Axis and Allied POW’s from World War II).

Lessons drawn from this literature about such earlier conflicts help frame these issues more clearly than the more sensationalistic, albeit contemporaneous literature.
