The account of Janusz Bardach is equal parts adventure and horror. The brutality of Communism is on display in graphic detail as Janusz transforms from a Communist idealist to a broken realist when exposed to the truth of Communism over it's theoretical ideals. This book has love, prison escapes, political and social philosophy, extreme brutality, suffering, and even black market reindeer blood (seriously). If you love WWII history, adventure, and real life stories of survival, please pick this book up.Memorable Points:- the realization of how quickly educated, hard working, honest families were massacred by both the Nazis and the Soviets.- the difference between political theory and reality and the importance of understanding how our ideas actually play out in the real world.- the escape from the prison transport.- the extreme use of fear as a weapon in Communist society.- the attack on female prisoners on the ship to Kolyma stuck with me due to the brutality.- the commutation of Janusz's death sentence from a "chance" encounter with an officer who knew his family.- the missed opportunity to escape after turning over the tank.- the strained relationship between Janusz and his brother Julek.- Janusz's return to Wlodzimierz-Wolynski after his release.- the revelation of his family's fate. The book tells it swiftly and without much fanfare. I think it translated the pain Janusz must've felt very explicitly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unnerving terror encounters humanity *by A***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 14, 2002* This is an extraordinary book for several reasons. It torments us with calm descriptions of terrible events, challenges us metaphysically by covertly asking how we might retain our own dignity in the same instances, and still manages to leave us a sense of hope and encouragement that someone could have survived such depravities and remain a sensate human.Americans have never really appreciated the horrors visited upon the Soviet people by Lenin and completed by Stalin and Beria. Is twenty million dead an accurate number? How about thirty? The numbers are impossible for the mind to register. Dr. Bardach brings one of these experiences vividly into the reader's frame of references. I wondered several times during my reading, with an awful feeling of foreboding terror, whether it could ever happen here.Dr. Bardack's book is more than simply shocking. I am perfectly convinced that the author, by simple use of understatement, refrained from amplifying his personal set of horrors. His use of contrasting descriptions of beautiful scenes while on route-beaches, forests, mountain steppes-forces us to carefully reassess how men of reason could generate such hostility.This book is not light reading, yet it is difficult to put down. The writing style is excellent and is a pleasure-if one can describe terror as "pleasure." It is a forceful commentary, an unique historical document, and Dr. Bardach should be congratulated for his willingness to relive and present it to us. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Man. Amazing Book. *by D***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 5, 2014* I thought I knew Janusz, I met him in Iowa City. He got my Mom to do Luksusowa Vodka "shooters" when the hardest stuff she ever drank was a glass of wine. They then proceeded to have a conversation in Ukrainian. He was one of the most positive souls I have ever met. He did cleft palate surgeries for kids all over the world. I remember being in his kitchen with my brother when he walked in proclaiming that "Phyllis dropped the ball" by leaving the Lukisuowa out of the freezer. He them made us do shooters as well. His wife Phyllis was an educator of the deaf and also an amazing soul. This book tells the story of how low the world can take you and how how high someone can climb. Inspirational. This book made me really know him. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/35004279-man-is-wolf-to-man-surviving-the-gulag](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/35004279-man-is-wolf-to-man-surviving-the-gulag) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
