Isaac's Army: A Story of Courage and Survival in Nazi-Occupied Poland: "Much of this history is known in broad strokes, but Brzezinski provides rich detail, context, and framework that creates a fuller picture. People’s stories were rendered from the first day of the war to the last, and in some cases beyond. That gives the reader insight into who these people were, their motivations and how they evolved into heroic figures. Brzezinski interviewed most of the main characters of the book who were still living in Poland, Israel, and Canada. He also explored the different forms of resistance: collective and individual, armed and spiritual, conscious and subconscious. From the moment the extermination policy was launched, any steps taken by Jews to hamper the Nazis’ efforts to eradicate them was resistance—bribing officials, paying people to hide them, fleeing to the forests, stealing food—were acts of defiance that required perseverance, courage, and planning."
