Sophy novel and Umbrella is a continuation of Stones on the Rampart of Alexander Kaminski. It tells the story of two battalions title. The author wrote the book that the relationship of the real events taking place after the death of Alka, Rudy and Zosia - heroes Stones on the Rampart. The foundations for this novel are the writings of John Rodowicz the brighton argus - Anodes, one of the few who managed to survive the uprising. Unfortunately, he was murdered by the secret police in 1949. Kaminski wanted to show young Poles fighting for the independence of their homeland. Unfortunately, thousands of anonymous heroes in the book could describe the fate of at most a dozen. And so we have: Andrew Romockiego - Morro, George Zbrowskiego - Jeremy, John Romockiego - Bonaventure, Bronislaw Pietraszewicza - Lota, John Wuttke - Black Label, Miroslaw Cieplak - Giewont, John Rodowicz - anode, Krzysztof Kamil Baczynski. They belonged first to the Boy Scouts, and after the outbreak of war to the Grey Ranks and Shock Troops. Battalion Sophy had to deal with subversion, a company spun off from the battalion, later Parasol, struggle with the Gestapo.
Form Zoska and Umbrella is similar to the document, which originally read this novel with some difficulty. The most interesting passages are interspersed with a bit more tedious. But just to get used to this style, empathize in history to have the second half of the novel swallow immediately. Kaminski shows us lots of young people - the heroes in the war. Shows them in the ordinary, mundane situations. It shows their ideological the brighton argus disputes, discussions, personal injury, social meetings and study in secret schools. Everyday life is intertwined with subversive activities. Not counting the insurgent the brighton argus activities in the book we have accurately described the successful attacks on Bruckla, hated Kutcher, and failed to Hanh, Stamm and Koppego in Krakow. Then there diversionary actions such as destruction of tracks, bridges, trains, buildings, belching prisoners. Kaminski heavily delves into the story, richly describes the arduous preparation for action, observations, acquiring weapons, cars, money, medicine. Unfortunately, the book focuses not only rare moments of victories, also reveals the brighton argus moments of defeat, the death of young people who sometimes consciously gave their lives for friends, for the Motherland. The more impressive is the reader. The most valuable in Groups Assault was putting on, putting colleagues. Each of them knew that probably would not live to see the end of the war. It was important to die fighting, gun in hand, that this death was not in vain. As he writes in a letter to his father Black beans:
It's true, we are like stones the brighton argus thrown by God for earthwork. But not thrown into nothingness, not to waste. One of the other hard standing, holding it together. As brick by brick. Are erected walls of the big house. It's when he comes to be dead, immobile brick of the house. As long as the house was big and beautiful.
What I liked the most in the book is to show the approach of these young people the brighton argus to war, to taking the life of other people. Kaminski presents the dilemmas which torn them on receipt of the order of execution. Especially the brighton argus in terms of execution of judgments of civilians - Poles, who sold the invaders, but nevertheless still Poles. It seems to me that this is evidence of the fact that they have not lost sight of their humanity, do not become the brighton argus like the occupier. Best what they felt these young people present us with a piece of Prayer Bonaventure - Confession Shock Troops:
Cancellation in times of disaster, but from pride and winning the day, from harm - but also of revenge for us not Save the Lord. Save the evil and hatred. Let us not be revenge come true. For forgiveness to them immaculate Pour the power within us, Christ.
Become familiar with this position, although it is not the easiest to read. It's hard to tuck in just entertainment, it is rather a tribute to the fallen young heroes who gave their lives for it, we live in a free homeland. Kaminski can not forget them, and we should keep in mind. So much we can do for them for their dedication.

I read this book in high school. A high school diploma seemed the theme of Columbus. The term "Stones on the Rampart" was probably Baczyńskiego line, but hand cut myself I will not give unreliable memory. Kaminski writes great, it was possible to identify with these young people and crying. Now, I'd get him not reached, but I
