Synopsis
An authentic diary of Josef Sramek, a Czech soldier drafted to the Hungaro-Austrian army to fight from the beginning of World War 1. As prisoner of war he survived a series of death marches, suffered from cold and diseases, and witnessed soldiers and civilians turning into either brutal predators or helpless prey. He was confined in a concentration camp at the italian island of Asinara which comprises an important part of his story. Later he was transfered to a more humanly captivity in France where his diary ends. "Clarion Foreword Reviews" have given the book four stars and commented: "Srámek's diary is both informative and eye-opening." and continue "... is a mustread for any student or aficionado of twentieth-century history. No historian could have written a more poignant tale."

About the Author
An ordinary boy, twenty-two-year-old Josef Sramek was working at a textile distribution company before he was drafted into the Austrian military in 1914 and forced to go to war. When he was captured by the enemy, he had to suffer death marches and endure concentration camps in Serbia, Albania, Italy, and France, but against all odds, he managed to survive, return home, and resume his life. Throughout his ordeal he kept a diary which is now being published to maintain his memories and remind future generations of the atrocities and absurdities that come about in war.
