Description
Poland 1939: The Outbreak of World War II The invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939, marked the beginning of World War II for this small European nation. Roger Moorhouse examines the lesser-known September Campaign, using original archival sources to provide a harrowing and human account of the events that set the tone for the conflict to come. This book sheds new light on a pivotal moment in history, revealing the brutal tactics employed by the German and Soviet forces, and the devastating impact on the Polish people. By reexamining the archives, Moorhouse provides a fresh perspective on a campaign that is often overlooked by historians. Through its harrowing narrative, Poland 1939 offers a powerful exploration of one of the most significant events of the 20th century.
