Synopsis
By any standards, Waldemar Lotnik's experience of the Second World War was remarkable. Fighting in the Polish Resistance, his unit was engaged in a bitter ethnic conflict with pro-Nazi Ukrainians. Unknown in the West, this struggle was, like that raging at the same time between the Serbs and Croats, provoked by the Nazis arming one ethnic group and unleashing it against a rival. Lotnik describes his part in a war of terror and counter-terror, which claimed at least half a million lives, with total and sometimes frightening candour. Captured by the Germans, he was taken to the Majdanek concentration camp. There he carted corpses to the crematorium and, like every inmate, fought a day-by-day battle for survival. When the camp was liberated, Lotnik volunteered for the new 'Red' Polish Air Force, and, while training to fly, was recruited by the Soviet security service, the NKVD, to inform on his comrades. After deserting, he joined the Polish Home Army, which in the summer of 1945 was fighting a desperate but doomed battle against the country's new occupiers. With the Soviets' victory never seriously in doubt, he escaped to the West to begin a new life. Nine Lives offers a brutally frank account of ethnic warfare which has striking parallels with recent conflicts in the Balkans and also describes a major 'sideshow' to the Second World War which is virtually unknown outside Eastern Europe. 'An unforgettable book ... one of the most tragic and horrifying memoirs to emerge from the Second World War.' - Neal Ascherson, By any standards, Waldemar Lotnik's experience of the Second World War was remarkable.

Package was delayed ( by bad weather) and then misplaced at PO( placed in wrong box #) but I contacted the seller and they responded quickly and I got my item today. This seller went the extra mile and I would highly recommend them and will shop here again. I also want to say the price for this complete hard to find item was way below most of the other listings. Condition was good as stated, and although I've only watched the first disc it's quality is good.

- 6***t (480)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifiéPurchasing form this company can at times be frustrating due to items never arriving, very low shipping time and the inability to track the items. But I gave them another chance and purchased many maps and books over the past few months and have received all of them. Last year, it was hit and miss. All items were in the condition as described. Packaging is minimal. The only downside is extremely slow shipping. I rate them a C+. Nothing to gloat about but eventually you will get what you wanted.
