Defiance Review: An Epic Tale of Survival Against the Odds that Needs to be Proclaimed - This book is the clear-cut, unembellished, source of the material that was incorporated into the dramatic movie bearing the same name. Contained within its chapters are the sobering details of the heroic and courageous fight for survival of a band of Jews during World War II. Under the leadership of the Bielski brothers these Jews stood against the contempt and hatred of both Nazis and Soviets alike, and survived destruction despite the odds stacked against them. This is an historic account, and it provides significant details of the personalities involved, their challenges, their hopes and disappointments, and their commitment and sacrifices for each other in the midst of this epic struggle for survival. The maps and photographs contained within help bring this tale to life. A must-read to discover the hidden treasure of this little known story! Review: Defiance - the true eye-opening story behind the movie - This book is amazing. Extremely well researched and factual, the actual details of what transpired in the forests of Eastern Europe are eye-opening. If the research wasn't there, it would be hard to believe that a group of persecuted Jews could build a civilization in the midst of primitive forest and persecution by every known member of the populace - Nazis, Russion partisans, Polish partisans, and everyday peasants. It is inspirational and fascinating. I did find the numerous names, places, and detailed events at times a bit overwhelming and difficult to follow, but that goes along with the heavily and responsibly researched nature of the book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #631,096 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #205 in Jewish Holocaust History #918 in World War II History (Books) #1,194 in European History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (401) | | Dimensions | 8.4 x 5.4 x 1.2 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0195376854 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0195376852 | | Item Weight | 1 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 374 pages | | Publication date | December 26, 2008 | | Publisher | Oxford University Press | ## Images ![Defiance - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kk27TRpTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Epic Tale of Survival Against the Odds that Needs to be Proclaimed *by T***K on February 9, 2015* This book is the clear-cut, unembellished, source of the material that was incorporated into the dramatic movie bearing the same name.

Extremely well researched and factual, the actual details of what transpired in the forests of Eastern Europe are eye-opening. If the research wasn't there, it would be hard to believe that a group of persecuted Jews could build a civilization in the midst of primitive forest and persecution by every known member of the populace - Nazis, Russion partisans, Polish partisans, and everyday peasants.

I did find the numerous names, places, and detailed events at times a bit overwhelming and difficult to follow, but that goes along with the heavily and responsibly researched nature of the book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by K***E on February 12, 2009* This is an excellent book. The brothers were more focused on saving their fellow Jews than killing Germans. Other partisan groups tried to force them into raids on Germans at the expense of saving older Jews and children. They did their share of killing while assuring the safety of the group. It is truly amazing that the brothers were able to save over 1,000 Jews while living in the forest. The author shows them as both loving heroes as well as harsh taskmasters. This is one case where the end truly justified the means. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/8867684-defiance](https://www.desertcart.be/products/8867684-defiance) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
