With exclusive access to previously hidden diaries, family and camp survivor accounts, and recently declassified files, critically acclaimed and award-winning journalist Jack Fairweather brilliantly portrays the remarkable man who volunteered to face the unknown in the name of truth and country. This extraordinary and eye-opening account of the Holocaust invites us all to bear witness.
Occupied Warsaw, Summer 1940:
Witold Pilecki, a Polish underground operative, accepted a mission to uncover
the fate of thousands interned at a new concentration camp, report on Nazi
crimes, raise a secret army, and stage an uprising. The name of the camp --
Auschwitz.
Over the next two and half years, and under the cruellest of conditions,
Pilecki's underground sabotaged facilities, assassinated Nazi officers, and
gathered evidence of terrifying abuse and mass murder. But as he pieced
together the horrifying Nazi plans to exterminate Europe's Jews, Pilecki
realized he would have to risk his men, his life, and his family to warn the
West before all was lost. To do so meant attempting the impossible -- but first
he would have to escape from Auschwitz itself...
Praise
for The Volunteer (adult edition):
"This
is a story that has long deserved a robust, faithful telling, and [Fairweather]
has delivered it." -- Wall Street Journal
"An
extraordinary story." -- The Times
* "A
forceful narrative with unstoppable reading momentum, Fairweather has created
an insightful biography of a covert war hero and an extraordinary contribution
to the history of the Holocaust." -- Booklist, starred review
"Witold Pilecki is one of the great -- perhaps the greatest -- unsung heroes of the second world war... Jack Fairweather's meticulous and insightful book is likely to be the definitive version of this extraordinary life." -- Economist
