"In Enemy Hands." Written by Karen Horn, published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. South Africa's POW's in World War II. Books on World War II abound, yet there are remarkably few publications on South Africa's role in this war. There is even less written about those who participated on the margins of the war, especially those who were physically removed from the battlefields through capture by enemy forces. South Africa's prisoners of war during World War II, their experiences and recollections, are largely forgotten. That is until now. Karen Horn is a lecturer at Stellenbosch University in Cape Town, South Africa. She has a Master's degree in History from Edinburgh University, followed by a PhD at Stellenbosch. KK1
