'Totally un-English'?: Britain’s Internment of ‘Enemy Aliens’ in Two World Wars
ISBN: 9789042016583 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The internment of 'enemy aliens' by the British government in two world wars remains largely hidden from history. British historians have treated the subject - if at all - as a mere footnote to the main narrative of Britain at war. In the 'Great War', Britain interned some 30,000 German nationals, most of whom had been long-term residents.

A Matter of Intelligence: Mi5 and the Surveillance of Anti-Nazi Refugees, 1933-50
ISBN: 9780719099809 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A matter of intelligence concerns the surveillance of anti-Nazi German refugees during the 1930s and 1940s by the British security service MI5.

Some of these political refugees came to Britain, where MI5 kept them under close surveillance. This study is based on the personal and organisational files that MI5 kept on them during the 1930s and 1940s - or at least those that have been released to the...
