This book belonged to my grandfather and described some of the missions he took part in. I found the description of the political negotiations confusing, being unfamiliar with many of those mentioned (I later found descriptions at the back of the book which would have been useful earlier on), but the details of the missions themselves were very interesting and I found some familiar names there. So proud of those that risked their lives to try and help the Poles.
