Milan Rastislav Stefanik: A Man of Iron Will, Paperback

Per aspera ad astra - Through adversity to the stars

Milan Rastislav Stef nik was great not only for the Slovaks, but also for the Czechs and the French. A virtuoso in life and death, a magnificent example of a man who in every act surpassed himself.

His life was a composite of enormous faith, iron will and noble love for his nation.

In everyone there is a will to fly to the stars, but few manage to reach them. Only those whose desire is greatest can achieve this. While those lacking faith perished in the glow of street lamps, Stef nik managed to reach the stars.
