Confronting Captivity: Britain and the United States and Their POWs in Nazi Germany

Acknowledgments

acknowledgments For the research that went into this book I visited archives and libraries on both sides of the Atlantic, among them the National Archives, College Park, Maryland; the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Hyde Park, New York; the Public Record Office, Kew, England; the British Red Cross Archive, London; and the Imperial War Museum, London. While archivists in all places were invariably most helpful, I wish to single out Wilbert Mahoney of the Military Branch of the National Archives. I owe a special debt of gratitude to my editor, Dick Bruggeman, for the insightful way we were able to discuss the theses at the heart of my study. I also wish to thank Asher Goldstein, who edited an early version of the manuscript, and Maya Dar, ever helpful as my research assistant. As always, I am grateful to my wife, Orna, and my three great kids, Talia, Uri, and Doron, who here have another chance to see their name in print. ...
