It was the Summer of 1940 and underground operative, Witold Pilecki, has accepted a mission to uncover the fate of thousands of people...
But when discovering the terrifying Nazi plans, Witold is about to endure a battle over the next two and a half years as he smuggles evidence of Nazi atrocities out of Auschwitz.
Shaping the Allies response to the Holocaust, his story has often been forgotten.
...Until now.
The first account drawing on unpublished family papers, archival documents and exclusive interviews with resistance fighters, it is time to discover how this individual brought the fight to the Nazis at the heart of their evil designs.
A truly enthralling story of resistance and heroism and one man's attempt to change the course of history.
'Gripping, revelatory, surreal' - Simon Sebag Montefiore.
'Remarkable' - Peter Frankopan.
