When a 96-year-old Polish man, Konstanty Dzier?ek, asks Joy Mawby for English lessons, little does she think that he will take her on a journey through the twentieth century. Interwoven with Konstanty's colourful memories of pre-war Russia and Poland are his own memoirs which record his adventures during and after the war. Illustrated throughout with photos from his album, his story is revealed with integrity and sincerity. Broken Warrior is the inspiring and poignant tale of a gifted man's devotion to his country and his longing to return there one day.
