Description

This is Part Three of an epic story of survival and resilience, spanning two generations, as told by the last of the line of an ancient Polish noble family, based on true accounts and memoirs. This volume begins with Viktor's enlistment in the Polish Second Corps, part of the British Eighth Army. He recounts his adventures in the Middle East before being shipped across the Mediterranean to participate in the Italian Campaign. He is one of very few surviving veterans of the Battle of Monte Cassino to see the 80th anniversary this year. New research has demonstrated that a simple text manipulation can reduce the phenomenon known as migration (letters or words seeming to move) and lead to improved comprehension when reading narrative text for readers with delayed-visual-disengagement dyslexia. When reading aloud from this adjusted text, compared to normal text, research participants made fewer mispronunciations, fewer omissions, fewer substitutions, and fewer migrations and thus scored higher on standardised tests of comprehension. Crossbridge Books is the first publisher to publish books using this adjusted text. Wolves of Russia Part Three: Under the Union Jack (dyslexia-friendly edition) is published in this format. The content is not considered suitable for readers below the age of fourteen. "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 meticulously 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." Rolf Mohr - Lead Concept Artist, Disney
