Description
Joe's War: My Father Decoded by Annette Kobak is a powerful and poignant exploration of family history and memory. For over forty years, Joe Kobak remained silent about his experiences during World War II, but his daughter Annette has now brought his story to life in this riveting work. Born on the border of Poland and Czechoslovakia, Joe's journey took him through imprisonment by the Russians, joining Polish forces fighting in France, and escaping to London where he intercepted Soviet messages. This is a story of survival, sacrifice, and resilience, as well as a deeply personal exploration of family secrets and the power of memory. By retracing her father's footsteps across Ukraine, Annette sheds new light on the dark corners of her family history and brings history to life in unexpected ways, creating a unique and compelling narrative that is both a tribute to her father's experiences and a search for her own place within their story.
