I have not published that one long paragraph. I did connect with the Captain and enjoyed the book. For me he exemplified a strain of Polish reckless heroism which courts death in defiance of the enemy.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-22821304657641965842018-11-12T09:23:18.445-08:002018-11-12T09:23:18.445-08:00Of the three books by Furst that I have read, this...Of the three books by Furst that I have read, this was the least appealing, Moira. But I knew little about Poland during the war so that was in its favor. The story in Ben Pastor's book was much better. I will continue that series if I run into the books, but not seeking them out for now.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-49178950581366680762018-11-11T14:15:25.026-08:002018-11-11T14:15:25.026-08:00I think I read the Polish Officer a good few years...I think I read the Polish Officer a good few years ago - though not Alan Furst's biggest fan. The other book sounds really interestsing - as you say, setup and setting both unusual, and would be good to read a book with those details.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-16890896479937094692018-11-11T08:12:57.992-08:002018-11-11T08:12:57.992-08:00I have enjoyed reading more books from or about ot...I have enjoyed reading more books from or about other countries this year, Margot.

And you've reminded me of Furst's work, for which thanks. I need to put one of those in the spotlight at some point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
