Theodore Meyer, a reluctant draftee from Aurich, Germany, during WWI was quickly transformed from a farmer into a soldier. In no time he was captured by the Russians as he fought on the Eastern Front. The Russians were quite lax in their supervision of their prison camps due to their involvement in the Bolshevik Revolution. Theo quickly found a way to escape and he took it. His life as an escaped prisoner was very perilous. Determining who to trust and whom to bribe was a constant fear. He was unarmed, malnourished, broke and inappropriately attired for the seasons in the shabbiest of clothes. This book is about Theo surviving a multitude of trials and troubles to get back home.

War changes people and Theo was no exception.  He had come from a life that he controlled. As a soldier, prisoner and then escaped prisoner his life was totally out of control.
