{"product_id":"joseph-wheelan-libby-prison-breakout-9781586489083","title":"Libby Prison Breakout","description":"During the winter of 1863-1864, 1,200 Union officers lived in squalor and semi-starvation in Richmond's Libby Prison, known as \"The Bastille of the South.\" On February 9, 109 of those officers wriggled through a fifty-five-foot tunnel to freedom. After an all-out Rebel manhunt, survivors reached Washington, and their testimony spurred far-reaching investigations into the treatment of Union prisoners. Libby Prison Breakout tells the largely unknown story of the most important escape of the Civil War from a Confederate prison, one that ultimately increased the North's and South's willingness to use prisoners in waging \"total war.\"","brand":"PublicAffairs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53730774942038,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/joseph-wheelan-libby-prison-breakout-9781586489083","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
