escaped
- Author: wallace ellison
- Genre: Germany
In spite of the fact, that World War I prisoners of war in Germany were forbidden not only to write but even to possess paper, some of them began writing down the events they witnessed, usually in diary form. All writings found during searches were systematically confiscated and their authors punished, nevertheless people contrived to hide their notes from the enemy.
Though the “Escaped” is a later memoires, different to some extend, it is also a profound reflection on the situation and authentic description of the prisoners’ life in captivity.
The work of a British author Wallace Ellison, written in 1918, includes details of his many escape attempts and his final successes and freedom.

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER I THE RIGHT TO MAKE WAR Since 1795, when Immanuel Kant published in his old age his treatise on "Perpetual Peace," many have considered it an established fact that war is the destruction of all good and the origin of all evil. In spite of all that history teaches, no conviction is felt that the struggle between nations is inevitable, and the growth of civilization is credited with a power to which war must yield. But, undisturbed by such human theories and the change of times, war has again and again marched from country to country with the clash of arms, and has proved its destructive as well as creative and purifying power. It has not succeeded in teaching mankind what its real nature is. Long periods of war, far from convincing men of the necessity of war, have, on the contrary, always revived the wish to exclude war, where possible, from the political intercourse of nations. This wish and this hope are widely disseminated even to-day. The maintenance of peace is lauded as the only goal at which statesmanship should aim. This unqualified desire for peace has obtained in our days a quite peculiar power over men's spirits. This aspiration finds its public expression in peace leagues and peace congresses; the Press of every country and of every party opens its columns to it. The current in this direction is, indeed, so strong that the majority of Governments professoutwardly, at any ratethat the necessity of maintaining peace is the real aim of their policy; while when a war breaks out the aggressor is universally stigmatized, and all Governments exert themselves, partly in reality, partly in pretence, to extinguish the conflagration. Pacific ideals, to be sure, are seldom the real motive of their action. They usually employ the need of peace as a cloak under w...
