Follow Julian Lisiecki's early 20th century life as he struggles for an education in Russian-controlled Poland. Julian's story offers a rare glimpse into life during the First World War, being lost behind enemy lines during the Polish Soviet War and becoming a successful architect. The saga continues with Julian's son, Stach, whose gripping Second World War experiences take him from fighting the Germans in France to wishing RAF bombers would liven up their 'damned potato soup' on Christmas Eve while shivering in Stalag VII-A. His remarkable escape across the Iberian Peninsula to become an officer in the British Army in West Africa, followed by his war against the 55th Imperial Japanese Cavalry in Burma, is a tale of resilience, courage, and lifelong friendship.
Born in the wilds of Africa, Simon Lisiecki dreamt going to sea. Mastering the art of celestial navigation led him to sail the globe. After commanding large oil tankers during the Gulf War, he decided it was time for more mundane employment. He moved to Alaska to work on the Exxon Valdez oil spill and parlayed that experience into becoming the president of a shipping company that exported crude oil from Alaska. Later, he was promoted and moved to the London headquarters. After six years of managing thousands of employees, he retired and returned to Alaska to concentrate on his passion for writing.
