Shallow graves but deep emotions! - By: Daniel R. Walters, 09 Jul 2008 
Whilst the accounts of the horrors of the gulags are now well documented this book brings a real sense of emotion to the facts. Just when the reader is convinced of the absolute brutality of the Russian people the description of the peasant couple, who selflessly endanger their freedom to help Krupa gain his, makes you think again! It really is a book to be readin one sitting but beware, on completion you will feel exhausted.
gripping - By: masspecguy, 21 May 2008 this is a tale of survival of extremes with out doubt a momumental tale worth telling
a sad enough epilogue but a real winner
Incredible true story - By: Griffstar, 20 Dec 2006 Michael Krupa is an absorbing writer & I read this book very quickly. The story of his life, tragically caught upin the Communist Gulag, is the most fascinating true story I have read. I recommend this book for people who are interestedin finding out more about the Gulag.
Incredible Story - By: H. Sokolowski, 13 Sep 2006 What Michael Krupa lived through is incredible. In telling this story, Krupa did not need to embellish or exaggerate. No fiction writer could not have come up with this kind of horror. Once I began to read the book, I could not put it down & finished itin one sitting!
An amazing read! - By: , 06 May 2003 Michael Krupa is indeed a remarkable man. Escaping from the Jesuit monestry, torturedin Lubianka Prison, Escaping Siberian Concentration camp, survived wolves attack, shot through the neck & left for dead & much, much, more, he still lives to tell the tale at the grand old age of 88!!!!!
