Jacobs irrepressible spirit shines through his many ordeals as his humorous ironic voice describes the broken system that was the czars imperial army and jacobs almost miraculous feats of survival

Ive read a number of accounts of this incredibly corrupt period in imperial russia thinking it hard to believe but if anything this account makes it worse than i had dreamed of

The tale itself is amazing the manner in which it is written is also incredible exciting and with great humour often in the face of mortal danger
