Don Bamford & Paul Carroll, 2009

Ever wondered what occurred to Royal Navy officers and seamen that were taken prisoner by the Americans?  Were they well treated taken care?  Who was responsible for them?  Who paid for their food and shelter?  How did the parole system work and did it work at all?  This is a fascinating book developed from the written accounts of Lieutenant David Wingfield RN, taken as a prisoner of war.
