    About this ebook

    Andrew is born in Poland during WWII. His father is a retired Polish army colonel and the family must leave as the country is being taken over by Soviets. Andrew describes his childhood growing up as refugees with his two older brothers in England, and then emigrating to South America for 10 years. In Argentina his family breaks up, and Andrew, his mother and brother Richard migrate to the United States. Andrew strives to adapt again to a new society, discovers his desire to emulate his father and takes steps to prepare himself for a career in the military.
