Synopsis

'One day I would like you to go to the places that I have been and see the things that I have seen but without the nasty bits.' Eighty years after World War Two, encouraged by his father's stories of survival and determination, a son travels to Poland to follow his father's experiences as a solder and Prisoner of War. Without the Nasty Bits weaves Norman's words with Alan's journey in a story that brings the past to life.

About the Author

Raised on an East Otago farm I benefited from the occasional amusing story of my father's Second World War adventures. As an adult I learned the truth and determined to keep my father's story alive. I had grown up with the man himself and I had access to his story on an audio disk, but for the benefit of research, and in the style of John Le Carré, I travelled to Silesia to the site of my father’s last POW camp. Where he had worked in a coalmine before the Long March of 1945. Such personal experiences shape the book.
