As featured on TV. The incredible true story of a teenage boy's perilous journey around the world during World War Two. "A tale of determination and triumph" – Kay Burley, Sky News Stan was aged 15 when war broke out. Over a period of 5 years, he dodged death as he travelled thousands of kilometres from Poland to the UK, via Soviet gulags, Uzbekistan, the Middle East and India. He then trained as a paratrooper in Scotland. He met a local girl and was going to get married, but had to leave her behind when he was dropped into battle at Arnhem. He was trapped behind enemy lines and captured by the Nazis. Only the Dutch underground might be able to help him escape. This thrilling memoir is an inspiring and personal account of a triumph of resilience and courage against great odds.
