This is a sequel to Making Bombs for Hitler, but I believe you could read this separately. Luka escapes from the work camp, leaving Lida behind. His escape was under the dead corpses from the camp hospital. He manages to get away and survive for a time in the forest. He meets up with different people, some he is not sure he can trust. His goal is to go back to Ukraine and find his family, at least his father who was sent to Siberia. On his way back, he is invited to fight in the Ukrainian underground army to fight for independence from both the Nazis and the Soviets. After reading Making Bombs for Hitler, you know the beginning and part of the ending of this story. Like the previous book, the author takes over a hundred pages to get to the underground war. The other parts are still interesting, but I wish the blurb on the back of the book more accurately reflected the majority of the content in the book. Again the story picks up significantly once Luka joins the underground. So if you are willing to wait, this is a book that gives you another side of Ukraine during World War II.
