Reddit reviews 23 Days: A Memoir of 1939

That sounds amazing. You might be too humble, so I just put a link to Amazon here. Do you plan to release Polish translation?

My grandad was Polish. He was born in Nova Mysh near Baranovichi in 1923. He was 16 when ww2 started. He fought against the invading Russian army and joined a partisan group fighting against the Russians. He had lots of bloody encounters with the Red army before he was finally captured during a shootout in a potato field.

Rather than being killed on the spot like some of his friends he was taken to a local prison and interrogated. He then went through various prisons. Each move from one prison to another he was sent further east. He was always interrogated at each prison and he was tortured by being hung by his arms until his joints dislocated.

The worst prison for him was in a town called Orsha where her spent 23 days in a condemned cell waiting to be shot.
For some reason his sentence was changed to 25 years hard labour in an Arctic Gulag.
He and a group of prisoners escaped the transport train and he was the only one to survive the journey across Russia and in to Finland.

After a long time recovering and being debriefed in England he returned to Europe as a member of the SOE. After the Germans attacked Russia he headed east and ended up in the middle east before joining up with the RAF to become a Mustang pilot for the last two years of the war.

That was a quick sum up of what he did. We self published his memoirs.

My mum, dad and brother will be attending the Krakow book fare next month. Hopefully a Polish publisher might be interested in printing the story in Poland.

Sounds like you are having some good luck with reddit.

I have had lots of interest in my book, when i get away with a post about it, but not many people from reddit have bought it. But the people that have read it have given it great reviews.
