"This book is highly recommended and should be required reading
for all students of history because it presents the story from
a perspective of a writer who suffered seeing his country
and his family and ancestors fall to the enemy and
suffer occupation by a brutal enemy.
His survival was remarkable and<
his account is vivid."
