The first account of one of the greatest heroes of WWII, and a gripping story of defiance, rebellion, sabotage and escape from a Nazi death camp
Jack Fairweather is a former war reporter in Iraq and Afghanistan and the author of A War of Choice and The Good War.
Totally gripping … A fascinating, revelatory and surreal WWII story
of almost incredible courage and unspeakable horror – how a Polish
resistance fighter helped reveal the secret of the final solution
from inside Auschwitz
*Simon Sebag Montefiore*
A remarkable book. Fairweather’s account is often harrowing; but it
is an important account of the suffering and tragedy in Nazi death
camps, told using many previously unpublished sources - and from a
new perspective.
*Peter Frankopan*
Well-researched, well-written and searingly memorable, Jack
Fairweather’s book reminds us of the capacity for nobility in the
human soul in times of unimaginable peril
*Andrew Roberts, bestselling author of ‘Churchill: Walking with
Destiny’*
Few books have enthralled, incensed and haunted me as “The
Volunteer” has done. There were times I felt compelled to set it
aside. There were others when hours of reading passed in what felt
like moments … This is a story that has long deserved a robust,
faithful telling, and he has delivered it
*Wall Street Journal*
An extraordinary story
*The Times*
