Ranked a lowly 28th in the U.S., DuPre tiptoed into the first round and ambushed fourth-seeded Vitas Gerulaitis, 24.

He digs for the truth about Communist betrayals and fascist atrocities, executioners and victims. Many of the recollections are as sanguinary as the war: bombs strike a hospital, airplanes strafe civilians, firing squads are everywhere.
