Julian is a 1964 novel by Gore Vidal, a work of historical fiction written primarily in the first person dealing with the life of the Roman emperor Flavius Claudius Julianus, (known to Christians as Julian the Apostate), who reigned 360–363

He was the last non-Christian ruler of the Roman Empire, and he believed that it was necessary to restore the Empire's ancient Roman values and traditions in order to save it from dissolution.[10] He purged the top-heavy state bureaucracy, and attempted to revive traditional Roman religious practices at the expense of Christianity. His attempt to build a Third Temple in Jerusalem was probably intended to harm Christianity rather than please Jews.[5] Julian also forbade the Christians from teaching and learning classical texts.

Witold Pilecki (13 May 1901 – 25 May 1948; Polish pronunciation: ['vit?lt pi'l?t?sk?i]; codenames Roman Jezierski, Tomasz Serafinski, Druh, Witold) was a Polish cavalry officer, intelligence agent, and resistance leader. He served as a rotmistrz (cavalry captain) with the Polish Army in the Polish–Soviet War, in the Second Polish Republic, and in World War II. He was also a co-founder of the Secret Polish Army (Polish: Tajna Armia Polska), a resistance group in German-occupied Poland, and later a member of the underground Home Army (Armia Krajowa). He was the author of Witold's Report, the first comprehensive Allied intelligence report on the Auschwitz concentration camp and the Holocaust.[1] He was a Roman Catholic.[2]
Merit

During World War II, Pilecki volunteered for a Polish resistance operation that involved being imprisoned in the Auschwitz concentration camp in order to gather intelligence and later escape.[3] While in the camp, he organized a resistance movement and informed the Western Allies of Nazi Germany's Auschwitz atrocities as early as 1941.[4] He escaped from the camp in 1943 after nearly 2½ years of imprisonment.[5] He took part as a combatant in the Warsaw Uprising[6] in August–October 1944.[7] He remained loyal to the London-based Polish government-in-exile after the Communist takeover of Poland, and he was arrested for espionage in 1947 by the Stalinist secret police (Urzad Bezpieczenstwa) on charges of working for "foreign imperialism", a euphemism for British Intelligence.[8][9] He was executed after a show trial in 1948. Information was suppressed about his exploits and fate until 1989 by the Communist regime in Poland.
