Written by local author and historian John Nixon, this book is a fascinating account of the lives of Danish prisoners of war housed in Reading during the Napoleonic wars.
During the entire period of the Napoleonic Wars, which lasted from 1803 to 1815, Reading was one of fifty towns and villages across the country that housed parole prisoners who were taken during battles and conflicts against Napoleon's armies.
