Review # 1 was written on 2010-08-29 00:00:00 Steven Schwartz Accurate first person histories of world events are hard to come by and are often more informative than those that can be culled from official documents. The Polish Russian Army's creation and influence on WWII is one of those topics where official information is polluted with propaganda. Here it's told with candor and a clear-eyed looking back by a former soldier in the army. Mr. Broner has a good eye for detail and an excellent memory. The end result is a document unlike any other I've come across on this topic. For those interested in Eastern European WWII history, this book is a valuable resource.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-05-18 00:00:00 Adam Cohen History of the Polish Army within the Red Army during WWII told by Adam Broner 14 years old Jewish soldier. From the Book: Late February 1945: I felt that I wanted to run away from the emptiness. It was a cemetery everywhere. My mind refused to accept the reality of the losses in my family and in all the other Jewish families I had known. I begged providence to give me at least one consolation, one known and loved face. I returned to my unit a broken man.
