{"product_id":"a-polish-voice-sandy-weatherburn-9781839526152","title":"A Polish Voice","description":"A young teenager enlisted into the Polish Army in 1938. Deported to the Soviet Union and imprisoned in a Siberian prison camp, this audacious soldier became reunited with his compatriots in Scotland where he trained as a paratrooper and took part in the fated WW2 Operation Market Garden, Arnhem in 1944.   Fifty years later, then a patient in hospital, the soldier recounted his life’s experience to my father in the next bed, who had the forethought to record their conversation onto a Dictaphone machine. My father’s empathetic nature and harrowing childhood experiences of seeing HMS Foylebank destroyed by German bomber planes on his way to school in 1940 led to a unique and unlikely friendship.   The discovery of these recordings in 2020 inspired The Polish Voice, a fully researched historical record of both men’s lives, a tribute to them, reminding us of the importance to listen to one another and the legacy of a recorded voice.","brand":"The Self-Publishing Partnership Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50548552630560,"sku":"9781839526152","price":10.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781839526152.jpg?v=1780925508","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/a-polish-voice-sandy-weatherburn-9781839526152","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
