Description
The London Cage: A Secret History of Britain's World War II Interrogation Centre Behind the locked doors of three mansions in London's Kensington Palace Gardens, the British Secret Service operated a highly secret prison from 1940 to 1948. Known as the London Cage, it was here that recalcitrant German prisoners of war were subjected to "special intelligence treatment" in a bid to extract information that could potentially turn the war's outcome. The stakes were high, and the prisoners' lives were marked by a grim reality of Soviet-style mistreatment. Helen Fry's groundbreaking book uncovers the full details of operations at the London Cage, shedding light on the daily lives of the prisoners and the systemic mistreatment they endured. The author also reveals sensational evidence that challenges official denials regarding the use of "truth drugs" and "enhanced interrogation" techniques. This riveting account brings dark secrets to light, providing a complete and objective history of the London Cage.
