"Enter the astonishing true story of Walter Szwender, one of the very few remaining veterans of Anders' Army, formed in Russia in 1941-2 from Poles who had been deported from their homeland. After fighting with the allies in Italy, Walter had 'no way back' to his Polish home and came to Canada on the first troopship out of Italy in 1946. The book is based on first hand interviews, historical research and over 60 years' worth of correspondence between Walter and his fellow soldiers worldwide - members of the Polish diaspora - as well as his family back in Poland, with whom he was reconnected after the war via the Red Cross. This is remarkable story of survival, humanity, good spirit and brotherhood. Walter's only wish for his long life is that his comrades, the ones who did not make it alive out of Italy, will continue to be remembered and honoured"-- Amazon.ca web site.
