[Cronos]

He was a pop writer, but I read his books avidly when I was 15 to 19 and I believed what he wrote was true -- for a long time Battle Cry was my favorite book.

He influenced me at least and I'm sure a lot of other people in believing the stereotype of Poles -- when I moved here I found it wasn't true.

I liked him as well. He tells the story of the founding of Israel with great drama. I don’t think most people walk away from his books thinking of Poland as an evil country. Uris shames a lot of countries in not helping the Jews.

As I recall, there is a Polish character named Wanda who helps Dov in delivering underground messages.
