Wolves of Russia

by R M Mace

An epic story of survival spanning two generations as told by the last in line of an ancient Polish noble family, based on memoirs and eye-witness accounts of true events. From the court of Imperial Russia to Foxley Manor in Herefordshire, England, the story begins with the First World War, takes the reader through the Russian Revolution, The Second World War, deportation to Siberia, escape from a gulag, enlistment in the British Eighth Army, the Italian Campaign and Monte Cassino, the operations of the UNRRA, and finally to England.

For fans of the book 'The Long Walk; The True Story of a Trek to Freedom', or fans of books about the Eastern Front of the Great War, this book will not disappoint.

There are some stories that simply have to be told; Wolves of Russia is one of those stories. The secrecy of the Stalin years and beyond have kept this story, typed laboriously on yellowing A4 sheets, tucked safely in a draw for decades until now.

You might ask how true is this story? It was true for those who lived it.

Book Reviews:

"This is a profoundly moving story of one man and his family caught up in the tumultuous events of the Revolution and War years in Europe. An epic journey fraught with violence and remarkable examples of humanity spanning a vast continent. The addition of first-hand transcripts adds another layer of historical authenticity to the work."

David Burns - Producer, Eden Films

"I was extremely impressed with this novel; it's an important accomplishment. Weaving the tale of this true story through eye-witness accounts and meticulouly detailed research to take us on a fascinating adventure through a chaotic landscape of societal upheaval, personal tragedy, and the political intrigues of war. I found myself carried along on the journey; the writing flows and is vividly descriptive which made it pretty much effortless to read in a few days. Wonderfully absorbing, and informative for history buffs."
