- Synopsis
- Captured!, first published in 1930, is the dramatic World War I account of Ferdinand Huszti Horvath (1891-1973), who served in the Austro-Hungarian army on the eastern front in the bitter fighting against the Russians. Horvath paints a realistic picture of combat and the miserable conditions in the frontlines. Later, Horvath is captured by Russian troops and imprisoned for 2-1/2 years. After escaping from the prison camp and a hazardous journey across Russia (then in the throes of the turbulent Communist revolution), he made his way to freedom in Sweden. The book ends at that point in Hovarth's life, but he would go on to emigrate to America, working as an animator for Disney and other Hollywood studios.
