Stands in the absolute first rank of books about the resistance in World War II. If you wish to read about a man more courageous and honourable than Jan Karski, I would have no idea who to recommend.
--Alan Furst, author of The Polish OfficerHis wartime saga as officer, as Soviet prisoner, as escapee, in the hands of the Gestapo, and as a Polish Underground activist and courier, is beyond remarkable. In a world today where words such as 'courage' and 'heroism' have been so overused--applied freely from sports to entertainment to politics as to be rendered practically meaningless--Jan Karski was the rare human being who embodied both.
--David Harris, Huffington PostThose who fear they have been desensitized by the sheer volume of information chronicling Nazi brutality in occupied Europe must read this memoir. . . . This is an exciting but often painful recounting of one man's witness to terror and tragedy.
--BooklistA disturbing, unique, invaluable record of Poland's suffering and heroism during World War II. A well-deserved revival of the author's 1944 best-seller. (Starred Review)
--Kirkus ReviewsSecret State is an indispensible and compelling historical document of World War II and the Holocaust, written by a supremely courageous humanitarian.
--Tampa Bay TimesBriskly paced, this is a gripping and immediate account of Nazi brutality from a brave leader of the resistance. (Starred Review)
--Publishers WeeklyThe story has all the characteristics of a spy-thriller--concealed film and suicide capsules, capture, interrogation, the drama of train travel and border checkpoints, the mysteries of those met, and countless convoluted escapes (a specialty of his)
