The life story of Josef Šálek, as remembered by his grandson. Born in Moravia, then part of Austria-Hungary, in 1892, Šálek's lifetime spanned both World Wars and the transformation of what is now the Czech Republic. What may have been simple small-town life became extraordinary when set against the canvas of dramatic world events. With exceptional historical detail interwoven with family anecdotes and memorabilia, this unique biography is a beautiful tribute to the sacrifices made by one man, and his legacy passed down to new generations.
