Smyrna, September 1922: A young Anatolian Greek is taken prisoner at the end of the Greek-Turkish war and marched off into the interior. He recounts his escape and heart-stopping journey through the familiar landscape of his lost homeland, where his ability to pass as a Muslim Turk reveals the common culture shared by the different communities of the crumbling Ottoman empire.

A classic tale of survival in a time of nationalist conflict, A Prisoner of War''s Story is a beautifully crafted and pithy narrative. Affirming the common humanity of peoples, it earns its place among Europe''s finest anti-war literature of the post-world war I period.
