One Man's Journey recounts the start of WW II-of love, war and survival-German POW-Polish Underground-imprisonment in a Siberian gulag in USSR-the Polish Army in Uzbekistan and Iraq and eventually joining the Polish and Royal Air Force as a fighter pilot in England. You will experience train travel through the Siberian Taiga and Kazakhstan's steppes, ocean voyages, and an African refugee settlement. You will be in jail in Soviet Russia surrounded by learned men trying to survive on thin soup and a piece of bread.

Accurate historical war events interspersed with dramatic and sometimes humorous personal stories. It is a rich autobiographical experience that parallels the diary of a mysterious Polish woman.

The author's tenacity to survive prisons, starvation and diseases to achieve his ultimate goal makes exciting reading as we follow his adventures.
