Description
A Foreign Field by Ben Macintyre is a gripping tale of survival, love, and betrayal set against the backdrop of World War I. In August 1914, four young British soldiers find themselves stranded behind enemy lines in rural France, where they are taken in by the local villagers. As they wait to be rescued, they form close bonds with their hosts, including a young woman who becomes the mother of their child. But when they are captured and tried as spies, the men's lives are forever changed. Using detailed records and personal testimonies, Macintyre reconstructs the events leading up to their capture and the subsequent trial, and ultimately uncovers the shocking truth behind the betrayal.
