Memoir of a British Corporal, captured in the early days of WWII, who escapes from his POW camp deep in Poland to become one of the top figures, and certainly among the most daring,  in the Polish Underground.

Bristles with anti-Communism, and loathing for the Cambridge set of homosexuals who Jeffrey blames for selling Poland to Stalin  and for slandering his own name with charges of Nazi-cooperation. His Polish wife was interrogated by Kim Philby after Jeffrey finally got her and their daughter out of Poland in late 1945. 

 This is a profound, deeply personal and wrenching account of the reality of tortured Poland during World War II, but more significant is the slowly, ominously looming threat of the darkness of communism. And so very dark it is indeed. Jeffery's eyes are only slowly opened and what he calls his fairy godmother surely confirms that he was indeed very very lucky to get out alive.
