Description:

Karski's Story of a Secret State stands as inspiring memoir of World War II and the Holocaust. With elements of a spy thriller, documenting his experiences in the Polish Underground, and as eyewitness accounts of the Holocaust, this volume is a testimony of one man's courage, and a nation's struggle for resistance against oppression.

Review Quotes:

Those who fear they have been desensitized by the sheer volume of information chronicling Nazi brutality in occupied Europe must read this memoir. . . . This is an exciting but often painful recounting of one man's witness to terror and tragedy.
