“This book is moral dynamite. It reveals not only what men can do in war but also what war can do to men.” – Norman Davies, historian and academic Stefan D?mbski joined the Polish Home Army in 1942 when he was just 16 years old. The Home Army formed the military wing of the Polish Underground, the resistance movement established to fight the Nazi occupation of Poland during the Second World War. During this occupation, the Home Army passed death sentences on hundreds of individuals – both Nazi enemies and colluding Polish compatriots. As one of the few Home Army members who volunteered to carry out these death sentences, the young D?mbski quickly became a seasoned executioner. In July 1945, D?mbski was transferred to the West and ended up in the United States where he remained until his death in 1993. In his final years, D?mbski recorded his story in fascinating, shocking detail. After his death, his memoirs came into the possession of his niece and nephew before eventually arriving at the KARTA Foundation in 2005. Initially published in the original Polish, Sobieralski’s translation of D?mbski’s records now gives English-language readers a hugely important insight into the mind of this seasoned executioner. Readers are made aware of the facts and actions of D?mbski’s life, but are witness to the lifelong moral struggle that accompanied these actions and led him to reflect on ideas of heroism, patriotism, guilt and on the very act of war itself.

Steph does an amazing job of depicting high school. The characters were relatable and funny, and most of the dialogue was realistic. I love that the book puts life into perspective - even if you think everything is perfect, something could go wrong. The way grief was written was extremely accurate, at least in my experience. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys young adult books." - Goodreads Review
