<ul><li>He was a bear who fought as a soldier.</li><li>He carried shells through enemy fire.</li><li>He drank beer with the men.</li></ul><br><i>Dancer on the Edge of War</i> tells the story of Jan Podolski, a Polish soldier who survived the gulags and the brutal fighting in Italy, and Wojtek, the real Syrian brown bear who became his brother in arms.<br>From the frozen gulags of Siberia to the blood-soaked hills of Italy and finally to a lonely enclosure in Edinburgh Zoo, this is a tale of friendship forged in hell, of wounds that never heal, and of two souls - one human, one bear - trapped long after the guns fell silent.<br>Unflinching and quietly devastating, Adam C. Frosh's novella refuses easy comfort. It asks one brutal question: what remains of a man when even the last innocent thing in his life is taken away?
