This is the amazing and inspiring true story of a Polish Jewish Partisan leader and Soviet captive during World War II. Joseph L. Zygielbaum fought the Nazis under the Polish and Soviet flags and alongside the American Office of Strategic Services. These memoirs reveal his heroism in the face of personal tragedy and place him squarely in the heart of Holocaust history. Zygielbaum; the son of the famed Polish martyr Szmul Zygielbaum; begins with a description of his childhood and then takes the reader through an odyssey spanning horrendous events from 1939 to 1945 and the battlefields of Eastern and Northern Europe. A reserve officer in the Polish army at 19 years old; Zygielbaum witnesses the German and Russian invasion of his homeland. He swiftly becomes a Partisan leader. After his wife and toddler son are murdered by the Nazis; he undertakes ever more risky missions and is captured by the Russians; narrowly escaping execution as a spy. He relates his many experiences in the USSR; culminating in his being impressed into the Red Army to fight the Germans. As a special forces fighter; he is deployed into many battle zones. Close to the end of the war; he escapes and returns to Poland; where he meets and marries his new love and emigrates with her to the United States. Zygielbaum’s book was published after his death in 1995 by his sons; long after he had completed a noted career in the early American space program. The story relates many everyday aspects of life as a Partisan and as a Soviet soldier; amid the ever-present terror of the war and the tragedy all around.

What I like most about this book is that the author posts ...By bonepicker46This book really blew me away; and answers a ton of questions that I'd had about the Kingdom of God; and the mentality behind the canonization process of the bible. This book is not for the close minded. It is a challenge to what has been traditionally taught in Christianity; and for me; this book has changed my entire perspective; and perception about religion.What I like most about this book is that the author posts his research bibliography; and the reader can do their own research; and draw their own conclusions.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Highly recommendedBy CustomerExcellent book so far and highly recommended! If you wang to be free to experience encounters with the word of God as the faithful in ancient times did; this book will answer your questions about what the Hebrew experience and language teaches us. I'm expecting the greater works.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Must Read for believers and ministersBy KingarthurThis book is a must read for believers and ministers. Just the first chapter will provide insight and enlightenment which I believe are essential to our walk with Jehovah God through His Son Yeshua the Savior of the World. I'm not interested in commenting on many books because they are weak and pathetic in their views and attempts to comment on Scripture. However; when I do have something to share; I do so because it is usually life changing. This is one of those books for me.
