    Excellent read!
  

*by T***D on Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2024*

Really brings to life the history of Wojtek and some Polish history in WWII. Gained a better understanding of why the bear meant a lot to the Polish troops.

    A Wonderful Read and A Wonderful Accounting
  

*by G***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2016*

Reading as I do on various wars and battles of interest to me and while keeping the larger event in front of me. I came across a story of the Polish Army Service Corps that fought during the Battle of Monte Cassino among many other battles during the Second World War. Specifically, the Battle of Monte Cassino and the Gustav Line in Italy are among my all-time favorites of the war in Europe in which to read, study, learn, and devour. It was during one of my past readings on this battle that I learned of a bear adopted by the 22nd Company of the Polish Army Service Corps to which I knew one day I would have to read. The purpose of wanting to read of Wojtek (Voy-check) was in my first impression to grasp a deeper understanding of the Polish Army - it was in fact those boys who broke the Gustav Line and lead the way to the success at Monte Cassino after General Mark Clark (aka Marcus Aurelius Clarkus) expended the U.S. Army 36th Division (Texas) in attempting to cross the Rapido - an accounting he would later have to face in a Congressional Investigation to which he was acquitted - but would never earn a 5th Star to his collar either - as a point of interest on Clark he was the signature on the Truce for the Korean War. But, this book was about a bear; adopted as a cub who served well with his Polish Comrades - and is by all accounts a hero by every measure of the word.I thought I would learn about a bear and a battle in this book; what I came away with was a brief history known to us of the sadness of the great people of Poland. A people and a culture that were left behind not to earn their freedom until 1989 with the leadership and charisma of Lech Walesa. I also came away with a post WWII better understanding of the Scottish who adopted the boys of the Free Polish Army. The short 200 or so pages of this book are an introduction to a treasure trove of a depleted, betrayed, heroic, and wonderful people of the Polish. The Scots have a fascinating history as do the Welsh, the English, and the Irish.The only matter I did not agree with in this book was in the epilogue of this book by another author Neal Ascherson - he stated that FDR and Churchill gladly let Uncle Joe Stalin do what he wanted with Poland but by all historical accounts - Sir Churchill fought this behind the scenes and FDR was nearing the end of his tired existence by the time the Yalta Conference took place.My appreciation for Ms. Aileen Orr for her brilliant display and abilities with the "proper" English use gave this American a smile and a lesson on occasion. The simple pleasures are always the best and are priceless. This book and historical account is a gem and rightfully earned the five stars it deserves. NAZDROWIE! To Poland and "to your health!"

    Nice book and historical end piece
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2017*

I stumbled on this and book was a quick read.  I would say 3 star writing on major book with also interesting views on British life with Poles in camps.  The ending that detailed Polish history was sort of bonus and very well written.  I found that interesting and well written given it was that recounting history can be a bit dry, but his was not.  I visited my brother in Poland while he was teaching school in 1972, and the historical information in this book rounded out many of my views and experiences.
