I was interested in this book initially just because of the humor of a real-life beer-swilling, cigarette-loving bear who goes to war. But it's actually a more sensitive story than I'd expected. The bond between the bear and his Polish comrades, the trauma that all of them experienced...it's very moving and I'm glad to have read Wojtek's story.
