Why people recommend it
British Concentration Camps by Simon Webb is a historical examination of the origins and administration of British internment camps during conflicts such as the Boer War and World War I. On Behind the Bastards, Robert Evans singled out the book as a really important text and encouraged listeners to read it for their own historical research. Evans utilized the volume as a foundational source for his episode exploring the history and legacy of concentration camps globally. He cited the book to detail the deteriorating conditions and harsher policies implemented in camps designated for Black populations during the Boer War, noting that tens of thousands were detained in specialized facilities. Furthermore, Evans referenced the text to connect these historical British practices to the twentieth century, noting how Nazi officials like Hermann Göring later cited British internment methods during meetings with diplomats to justify their own regime's actions. The book also provided documentation of domestic dissent, including a Guardian newspaper report from late 1914 regarding the Lancaster concentration camp, where authorities suppressed civilian unrest with a violent bayonet charge. Through these chilling historical accounts, Webb's work served as a critical reminder of how state-sanctioned internment evolved across modern empires.
