About This Book
This book is a real good read as they say. I found it on the sad side...even brings a tear to your eye. This book should be relegated to the fiction section of the library. There is much in Rawicz's story that makes no sense. For example, Rawicz admitted that he had come out of the USSR with the Poles who were released after the Soviet-Polish pact, and went to Palestine where he joined the British forces.
