The Amazon Kindle version of Sojourn in Silesia by Arthur Evans CBE will be free for the very last time between Friday 11th and Sunday 13th May on Amazon. It won't be given away free again, so don't miss out! Sojourn in Silesia has 5* reviews on Amazon and is also available in paperback. It was first published in 1995 and the 4th edition was published in July 2011 with some added extras at the front of the book. Synopsis Arthur Evans CBE served in the Irish Guards during WWII, but was captured the first day he arrived in France and spent the rest of the war as a prisoner, working in coal mines in Silesia. Reviews “I read this book after it was recommended to me. Most enjoyable with tears in my eyes, probably on more than one occasion. It is amazing what the human body can take when subjected to the harshness of war?” “My father was in the N.African desert during WW2 and never said much about it. Everyone should read books like this to know what really happened. I never knew men were so reliant on Red Cross parcels. An evocative book which I read in a day.” “A very readable story of one man's account of being a prisoner of war. The pressures, anxieties and comradeship. It certainly gives food for thought about how anybody could not only survive the ordeal, but learn from it. Not the "Great Escape", but somehow all the more poignant.” The book will be free on all Amazon websites, UK, US, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

I have downloaded it, and start reading. Looks great and I will review in Amazon once read. Thank you Jeremy
Thank you. On another forum I was recommended to read a book called The Lost Highlander, by Alistair Urquart (it was his niece who recommended me). Alistair was taken prisoner by the Japanese, and I have just finished reading his book. I am about to write a review on Amazon, yet any words I write will not do justice to this book or his suffering. I read the book with horror, sadness and rage. I also feel awful to be thinking that compared to Alistair's experience, my Dad's experience seems like a walk in the park. Of course, it wasn't, but my Dad appeared to hang on to his dignity, and was not treated as sub-human.
