Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 1st Edition. Oversized paperback, xxii + 232 pages, b&w photos in text, NOT ex-library. Author's private inscription (signed & dated) and a colour photograph on the half-title page. Interior is clean, slightly tanned, with unmarked text, free of stamps. Moderate wear to tips of page corners Covers show slight rubbing to edges, wear to tips of corners, light handling wear. -- This a story of survival against extraordinary odds. Deep in the forests of Belorussia, Leon Berk engaged in a bitter struggle of life and death in which no prisoners were ever taken. Hardened by the harsh environment and with a fierce love of their Motherland, these partisans derailed trains, took over villages and fought their way into the folklore of their country. Leon Berk has written a moving record in memory of those who gave selflessly so that the forces of evil would be silenced. His book is a compelling and inspiring story in the tradition of The Diary of Anne Frank and The War Diaries of Weary Dunlop. -- Leon Berk was born in Poland, studied in Milan, Italy, and completed his medical degree in Lvov [Lviv] in 1941. During the Second World War he served as chief medical officer with the Russian partisan unit 'Sovyetskaya Beloruss'. In June 1944 Dr Berk joined the Polish Army and served until the end of the war when he emigrated to Israel. As a general surgeon and head of the Maxillo-Facial Unit in Tel-Hashomer Hospital, he finished his military service with the rank of Major. In 1956 Dr Berk emigrated to Australia. Working as a doctor, he settled in Sydney where he lives with his wife and son. Inscribed by Author. Signed by Author(s). N° de réf. du vendeur 1953
