Book description


To Ruhleben-And Back; A Great Adventure In Three Phases - is a book, which was published in 1916 and written by Geoffrey Pyke, an English journalist, educationalist, and inventor of the first half of 20th century. This book is Geoffrey Pyke's memoir of his experiences in the Ruhleben internment camp. While studying at the University of Cambridge, Pyke persuaded the editor of the London Daily Chronicle to make him the paper's correspondent in Berlin during the First World War. Pyke was captured and sent to Ruhleben along with about 4,000 other foreign prisoners. In 1915, after spending a year in Ruhleben, Pyke fled to the Netherlands and from there returned to the United Kingdom. Pyke's experiences and memoirs brought him little notoriety at the time, but were soon forgotten. The camp was originally a race track built north of the Berlin-Hamburg railway line in 1908, but became a concentration camp for civilians in Germany during World War I.
