Written by Ilse Hess and translated by Meyrick Booth Ph.D., the narrative chronicles the deeply personal and politically charged ordeal of a wife witnessing her husband's incarceration at the hands of the Allied powers, offering an intimate and unflinching portrait of loyalty, injustice, and endurance in the shadow of post-war Europe.\n\nEdited by George Pile and introduced to English-speaking audiences with a foreword by Air-Commodore G. S. Oddie, this account sits at the intersection of personal memoir and political polemic, arguing passionately that Hess's continued imprisonment was not justice but persecution. The work presents a rare and deeply partisan perspective on the Nuremberg trials and their aftermath, challenging readers to grapple with questions of victors' justice, wartime law, and human compassion — making it a provocative and enduring document of mid-twentieth-century history that refuses to be easily dismissed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203398508763,"sku":"2026200013976-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e1ba42dc-57cb-47b7-9717-e314d2ea378d.png?v=1788148654","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013976-secondhand-prisoner-of-peace","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
