The author, who was a military attaché and officer in charge of the interned British soldiers during World War I, provides a comprehensive look at the experiences of British prisoners of war in Switzerland. The work details the negotiations, conditions, and daily life of these soldiers while showcasing the Swiss government's role and the support received from local populations. The opening of the book introduces Picot's personal arrival in Switzerland just before the outbreak of World War I. He reflects on the atmosphere and sentiments that predated the war, hinting at the complex interplay of international relations and diplomacy that existed at the time. As he settles into his role, he anticipates the arrival of British prisoners of war, discussing the swift and cooperative efforts taken by Switzerland to accommodate them amidst the chaos of war. The narrative sets the stage for a detailed exploration of not only the internment process but also the broader context of wartime diplomacy, humanitarian efforts, and the nurturing of international friendships that characterized the era.
