A number of online and textual resources concerning World War 1 and World War 2 internment in the UK

have helped in the writing of this book,

especially texts by Ronald Stent

and by the great Fred Uhlman.

The book that Robert Greenlaw refers to throughout is Einstein on the Run by Andrew Robinson (Yale).

Of the many resources I went to for swift life,

by far the most inspiring was Swifts in a Tower

by David Lack (Unicorn).
