Seventy-five years after Joseph Stalin's reign of terror across Eastern Europe, author Greg Archer takes a step back from Hollywood reporting and examines his Polish family's mind-bending odyssey of the 1940s. In the process, he exposes one of the most under-reported events of the 20th Century: Joseph Stalin's mass deportation of nearly 2 million Polish citizens to the Siberian Gulags and the life-and-death events that followed--from Siberia to the Middle East and ultimately, Eastern Africa. But the author's quest takes a dramatic turn. As he walks an emotional tightrope between the past and the present, can a serendipitous overseas adventure become a saving grace, heal the ancestral soul and bring justice to his family and their forgotten Polish comrades'.
