The Secret Story of An "AK"  Home Army Fighter is Revealed!

Emmy® award-winning journalist, TV host, and New York Times bestselling author Rita Cosby has always asked the tough questions in her interviews with the world\'s top newsmakers. Now, in a compelling and powerful memoir, she reveals how she uncovered an amazing personal story of heroism and courage, the untold secrets of a man she has known all her life: her father.
Years after her mother\'s death, Rita finally nerved herself to sort through her mother\'s stored belongings, never dreaming what a dramatic story was waiting for her. Opening a battered tan suitcase, she discovered it belonged to her father-the enigmatic man who had divorced her mother and left when Rita was still a teenager.

Rita knew little of her father\'s past: just that he had left Poland after World War II, and that his many scars, visible and not, bore mute witness to some past tragedy. He had always refused to answer questions. Now, however, she held in her hand stark mementos from the youth of the man she knew only as Richard Cosby, proud American: a worn Polish Resistance armband; rusted tags bearing a prisoner number and the words Stalag IVB; and an identity card for an ex-POW bearing the name Ryszard Kossobudzki.

"Rita\'s story is one that will touch every family. . . A loving, poignant tribute to her POW father and freedom." - Senator John McCain

"A beautiful tribute to the strength of the human spirit." - Dr. Henry Kissinger, Former Secretary of State
