The lion of Scotland and the eagle of Poland, two powerful symbols of nationhood, were bound together by fate during World War II. In 1939, Germany, and then the Soviet Union, invaded and crushed Poland. In the ensuing chaos, a few Poles embarked upon a miraculous and hazardous journey of escape. After great hardships, some of these men, women and children managed to reach Britain to fight again. With little knowledge of the language and few possessions, they were sent to live in tents and to build coastal defences in a strange, cold and wet land in the North: Scotland.

"King Jon Sobieski of Poland - A Lion in Adversity" is a captivating exploration of a historical figure whose indomitable spirit and unwavering faith led him to rise above the challenges of his time. King Jon Sobieski's life story is an inspiring narrative of resilience, leadership, and triumph in the face of daunting odds, set against the backdrop of a Europe under threat from the expansionist Ottoman Empire. In the late 17th century, Europe found itself at a crossroads, with the menacing shadow of the Ottoman Empire looming ever larger on its periphery. The Ottoman Empire's relentless advance posed a dire threat to the Christian nations of Europe, and it was in this turbulent era that Jon Sobieski emerged as a pivotal figure. His story is one of courage, conviction, and a relentless determination to defend Christendom. At the base of King Sobieski's remarkable tale is his unwavering faith and exceptional leadership. He possessed a charisma and dedication that inspired not only his subjects but also the diverse coalition of Christian armies he led into battle. Sobieski's ability to galvanize his troops, even when they were vastly outnumbered and outgunned, stands as a testament to his extraordinary leadership qualities. He instilled in his soldiers a deep sense of purpose and a firm belief in the righteousness of their cause, compelling them to confront the formidable Ottoman forces with courage and determination. The book vividly portrays Sobieski's military exploits, with the zenith of his career being the famous Battle of Vienna in 1683. This historic clash is not only a demonstration of his military acumen but, more importantly, it marks a turning point in European history. Sobieski's triumph at Vienna, where he led his forces to victory against overwhelming odds, halted the Ottoman Empire's relentless advance, saving Europe from potential domination. It is here, in the shadow of the Viennese spires, that King Sobieski earned his place as a hero in the chronicles of Christendom. In many ways, Sobieski's leadership transcended his role as a monarch. He became a symbol of inspiration, not just for his soldiers but for the entire continent. His leadership style showcased the indomitable spirit of strong and visionary leadership, igniting in those under his command an unshakable resolve to fight for their beliefs and their homelands. In a world fraught with challenges, Sobieski's legacy reminds us of the enduring need for exemplary leaders who can inspire and guide their people through the darkest of times. This book masterfully captures the struggles endured by the people of Europe during the tumultuous era of the Ottoman invasion. It underscores the profound significance of faith in times of crisis, showcasing how it can serve as an unshakable pillar upon which individuals, nations, and even civilizations can rest in their darkest hours. Sobieski's unwavering faith in the face of adversity serves as a beacon of hope and a source of inspiration for all those who face their own trials and tribulations. "King Jon Sobieski of Poland - A Lion in Adversity" is more than just a historical account; it is a timeless tale of courage and determination that transcends the confines of the 17th century. It serves as a source of inspiration for all those who seek to overcome their own challenges with unwavering faith and visionary leadership. As it weaves together the threads of history, faith, and valor, this narrative becomes a compelling and resonant story of triumph against the odds, reminding us of the enduring human capacity to rise above adversity and defend what we hold dear. Jon Sobieski's legacy endures as a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who dare to confront adversity and triumph over it.

Hungarian Princess Jadwiga (Yahd VEE gah) has been prepared from birth to put the peace and prosperity of nations above her own desires. Betrothed in 1378 at the age of five to Prince William of Austria, their education has included spending time in each other’s court for careful training as future rulers. When the balance of power in Central Europe unexpectedly shifts, the Council from faraway Poland demands that Jadwiga become their monarch. The eleven-year-old girl is soon traveling north to Krakow where she is crowned queen in Wawel Cathedral, swearing “to keep and maintain the rights and liberties granted by the righteous Christian kings of Poland.” And she means to do it. However, when Poland’s Council insists upon her marrying the fierce pagan Prince Jagiello of Lithuania instead of William, Jadwiga passionately resists. The intense struggle in which this young queen lays down her personal hopes and gives her entire life to the fulfillment of a peaceful union between Poland and Lithuania—long referred to as “The wedding ring of Jadwiga”—will have far-reaching consequences in her own time and in the years to come. Jadwiga, “White Dove of Poland,” was canonized a saint in 1997 by Pope John Paul II. Includes an Author’s Note Historical Insight article by Daria Sockey Revised edition

Few lives shed more light on the complex relationship between Jews and Christians during and after the Holocaust--or provide a more moving portrait of courage--than Oswald Rufeisen's. A Jew passing as a Christian in occupied Poland, Rufeisen worked as translator for the German police--the very people who rounded up and murdered the Jews--and repeatedly risked his life to save hundreds from the Nazis. In this gripping biography, Nechama Tec, a widely acclaimed writer on the Holocaust, recounts Rufeisen's remarkable story. A youth of seventeen when World War II began, Rufeisen joined the exodus of Poles who fled the approaching German army. Tec vividly describes how Rufeisen used his ability to speak fluent German to pass as half German and half Polish in Mir, where he came to serve as translator and personal secretary to the German in charge of the gendarmerie. As he carried out his duties--reading death sentences to prisoners, swearing in new police officers before a portrait of Hitler--he earned the trust and affection of the German commander, yet lived in constant fear of discovery. He used his position to pass secret information to Jews and Christians about impending "aktions" and to sabatoge Nazi plans. Most notably, he thwarted the annihilation of the Mir ghetto by arming hundreds of doomed Jews and organizing their escape, and saved an entire Belorussian village from destruction. Denounced, Rufeisen escaped and found shelter in a convent, where he converted to Catholicism. Though a pacifist, he spent the rest of the war fighting in a Russian partisan unit. After the war, Father Daniel (as he is now known) became a priest and a Carmelite monk. Identifying himself as a Christian Jew and an ardent Zionist, he moved to Israel, where he challenged the Law of Return in a case that reached the High Court and attracted international attention. Today he continues to devote himself to bridging the gap between Christians and Jews. In the Lion's Den offers a stirring portrait of a Jewish rescuer during the Holocaust and its aftermath, illuminating the intricate connections between good and evil, cruelty and compassion, and Judaism and Christianity.
