The Road to en-Dor is a classic and gripping memoir detailing one of the most remarkable prison escapes of the First World War. Written by E. H. Jones, the narrative follows his experiences as a British officer captured by Ottoman forces and held at the Yozgad prisoner-of-war camp. Seeking a way to maintain morale and ultimately find a path to freedom, Jones and fellow prisoner C. W. Hill began experimenting with a Ouija board. What started as a psychological experiment soon transformed into an elaborate and audacious hoax.

By feigning mediumship and convincing their captors that they were receiving instructions from the spirit world, the two men successfully manipulated the camp's officials. Their incredible journey involves simulated madness, spiritualist trickery, and a high-stakes game of psychological warfare. The Road to en-Dor is not only a thrilling escape story but also a profound study of human psychology and the power of suggestion. This enduring work provides a unique perspective on the Great War, focusing on the mental resilience and ingenuity required to navigate captivity. It remains an essential read for those interested in military history, the psychology of deception, and the indomitable human spirit.
