Book "5/25. Saperzy w strefie śmierci" - Bogusław Politowski

5/25 is the basic procedure for sapper safety checks during combat operations. After stopping the vehicle in a place that has aroused suspicion, the sappers make a detailed search of the area within five meters of the vehicle, and then expand the zone to twenty-five meters. On their thoroughness and focus depends the safety of the entire column. On their composure and vigilance - the lives of the military and civilians.

Journalist and war correspondent Boguslaw Politowski describes the difficult tasks of the sapper units with passion and respect. He tells about the dangerous service of Polish sappers and the combat tasks they performed, among others, during the mission in Afghanistan. He writes about the use of specialized equipment and trained dogs to search for booby-trapped mines. He describes tragic accidents that cannot be avoided in war. He also zooms in on the work of engineering soldiers in peacetime - when it is necessary to blow up an ice jam on a river, remove a post-war unexploded ordnance found during the construction of a new housing development or blow up a flood barrier.

5/25 is a book about the soldiers of one of the most interesting military formations and a tribute to the ethos of the sapper service.
