The Hated Cage: An American Tragedy in Britain’s Most Terrifying Prison [Audiobook]

A leading historian reveals the never-before-told story of a doomed British prison and the massacre of its American prisoners of war. After the War of 1812, more than five thousand American sailors were marooned in Dartmoor Prison on a barren English plain; the conflict was over but they had been left to rot by their government. The Hated Cage documents the extraordinary but separate communities these men built within the prison—and the terrible massacre of nine Americans by prison guards that destroyed these worlds. Drawing on extensive new material, The Hated Cage is a gripping account of this forgotten history.
