A leading historian reveals the never-before-told story of a doomed British prison and the massacre of its American prisoners of war. After the War of 1812, more than five thousand American sailors were marooned in Dartmoor Prison on a barren English plain; the conflict was over but they had been left to rot by their government. The Hated Cage documents the extraordinary but separate communities these men built within the prison-and the terrible massacre of nine Americans by prison guards that destroyed these worlds. Drawing on extensive new material, The Hated Cage is a gripping account of this forgotten history.
