Throughout, Conti covers the range of POW life, from quotidian experiences to extraordinary events, and demonstrates that for many prisoners even the most mundane aspects of the POW experience were life-changing. For Hereford, Conti relies heavily on archives, including those in Italy and the Vatican, as well as oral histories and interviews with former POWs. While Conti references Japanese and German POWs held by the United States, he does not offer a comparison with those groups, nor with the German Americans or Italian Americans who might have been arrested, detained, or incarcerated, let alone the more wide-sweeping and longer-lasting Japanese American incarceration.
