Book Description

From Publishers Weekly
With clear, reticent prose and his trademark mastery of historical detail,
Furst (Shadow Trade; Night Soldiers) brings vividly to life this WWII-era
tale of espionage and bravery, chronicling the work of the Polish underground
in Poland, France and the Ukraine. As Warsaw is falling in 1939, Polish
Captain Alexander de Milja embarks on a harrowing journey to smuggle
the national gold reserves out of the country by rail-the first of many
death-defying missions he will undertake for the nascent ZWZ, the Union
for Armed Struggle. Under a series of false identities, mingling with
the bon vivants of occupied Paris, he later becomes a prized intelligence
resource in France, surviving by cunning and passing valuable strategic
information to the British. In the novel’s final section, de Milja is
in even more danger, working as a saboteur based in a Ukrainian forest
as the Germans march east. Throughout these dramatic events, Furst’s
understated narrative is insightful and convincing. The unassuming de
Milja-who considers himself merely "unafraid to die, and lucky so far"-proves
an engaging protagonist. His exploits and the courageous sacrifices
of the ordinary patriots who help him are both thrilling and at times
inspiring.
"Brilliantly imagined, vividly drawn, rich with incident and detail….The
Polish Officer portrays ordinary men and women caught out on the sharp
edge of military intelligence operations in wartime: the partisans,
saboteurs, resistance fighters and idealistic volunteers risking their
lives in causes that seem lost."
–Robert Chatain, Chicago Tribune
"[A] riveting æpureÆ story…wonderfully exact…transcends the spy
novel while delivering everything any fan of le CarrΘ could ask for."–
–Robin Winks, The Boston Globe
