Description & Specifications

The invasion of Poland by German forces (soon accompanied by their then-ally Soviets) sparked World War II. Despite determined resistance, Poland was quickly overrun, but the Poles continued the fight until the last day of the war against Germany, resisting the occupier in their homeland and fighting in exile with the Allied forces.

Evan McGilvray, based on thorough research into Polish sources, provides a comprehensive description of Poland's war. He reveals the complexities of Poland's relationship with the Allies (forced to accept their Soviet enemies as allies after 1941, and later betrayed into Soviet occupation in the post-war settlement), as well as the divisions among Polish factions that led to civil war even before Germany's defeat.

The author narrates all the battles involving Polish forces, including famous actions such as the Battle of Britain, Tobruk, Normandy, Arnhem, and the Warsaw Uprising, as well as lesser-known aspects such as the Carpathian Lancers Brigade in Italy, the Polish forces under Soviet command, and the capture of Wilhelmshaven on the last day of the war.
