“into the enemy鈥檚 hands alive. That was what I dreaded. No, what hurt me very, very much was the lives of so many compa帽eros, fine compa帽eros, who weren鈥檛 ambitious for power in the least. All they wanted was enough to live on, enough to meet their people鈥檚 needs. This reinforced my decision to fight.”
