Review

The Polish Officer is a powerful and moving story of a young Polish officer's experiences during World War II. It is a story of courage, resilience, and the horrors of war.

Furst's writing is evocative and atmospheric, and he brings the horrors of war to life in vivid detail. The novel is full of suspense and action, but it also takes the time to explore the human cost of war.

Karski is a complex and sympathetic character. He is a brave and dedicated soldier, but he is also haunted by the horrors he has seen. Furst does a great job of showing the psychological toll that war can take on a person.

The Polish Officer is a must-read for anyone interested in World War II or historical fiction. It is a powerful and moving story that will stay with you long after you finish it.
