![]() ![]() The only literature I read are non-fiction books- many of them about survival, adventure, and great journies. Yet, this work is still filed under "non-fiction" for some reason. Much research has been done even up until the current decade, and all of it arrives at the same conclusion: this didn't happen. There are even contemporary accounts of fellow polish soldiers attending the author's speeches in the 50's just to stand up and yell "I served with you in the Army the whole time, Rawicz. ![]() There is plenty of documentation showing that the author could not have been where he said he was, that he never escaped from a POW camp, and that he never made the journey described in this book. After I was finished, I learned through a small amount of research that this story is completely fake. Like so many others, I was absolutely enraptured by this wonderful story of survival, human endurance, and perseverance. ![]()
