Review:
The horrors of the Civil War are brought to the screen by director John
Frankenheimer, in this account of the most infamous of all POW camps.
As Union soldiers arrive at this barracks-less stockade in Georgia, they
quickly learn that survival in this hell-hole will be tougher than
fighting the war.
No shelter, little food and brutal
guards, along with a gang of Union thieves who call themselves,
"Raiders," make day to day living almost unbearable for the
prisoners.
The camp's commandant, a German named Wertz, was later tried for war
crimes after the conflict ended. Although officially designated as
"Camp Sumter," its atrocious treatment of men would forever
label it "Andersonville."
