First to fight: the Polish War 1939
Moorhouse, RogerThe Polish campaign is the forgotten story of the Second World War.
The war began on 1 September 1939, when German tanks, trucks and
infantry crossed the Polish border, and the Luftwaffe began bombing
Poland’s towns and cities. The Polish army fought bravely but could not
withstand the concentrated attack. When the Red Army invaded from the
east, the country’s fate was sealed.
This is the first history of the Polish war for almost half a
century. Drawing on letters, memoirs and diaries from all sides, Roger
Moorhouse’s dramatic account of the military events is entwined with a
human story of courage and suffering, and a dark tale of diplomatic
betrayal.
