description: This acerbically witty memoir follows the "Cambridge Gang" of internees as they exchange privilege for privation and become part of the war effort. During the early years of World War II, the author―a German Jew from a privileged background―was suddenly catapulted from his idyllic student elite life at Cambridge into a turbulent seven-year odyssey in an internment camp.
