Description

"Wlodzimierz Borodziej presents an evenhanded account of what is commonly considered the darkest chapter in Polish history during World War II. In only sixty-three days, the Germans razed Warsaw to the ground and 200,000 people, mostly civilians, lost their lives. The result - a heroic and historically pivotal turning point - meant that the Poles would lose both their capital and an entire generation." "Borodziej's account is the first one on the subject to include the scholarly findings of the past two decades, and his insights contribute to an understanding of the momentous nature of this event."--Jacket.
