About This Book

A first-person chronicle recounts arrest and suspicion as a spy, interrogation and imprisonment under an occupying army, and the cramped, improvised routines of prisoners. It follows movement with advancing columns and with photographers and reporters across battle-scarred regions, recording skirmishes, detentions, and scenes of destruction. Interwoven are candid reflections on the erosion of pacifist convictions, the strains on morale, small acts of solidarity, and sharp observations of wartime bureaucracy and brutality.
