Written by a survivor of the Warsaw Uprising, this book examines
the background of the ill-fated 63-day uprising that pitted poorly
armed Polish civilians and volunteers against Hitler's well-armed
and veteran forces. Borowiec also examines Stalin's decision to
stand by while Warsaw and its defenders were destroyed.
Borowiec provides a day-by-day account of the combat and the
efforts to resupply the partisans by Allied aircraft. In this, the
first English-language history of the Uprising, Borowiec relies on
his own experiences, those of other participants, and other
materials not usually available to Western scholars and researchers
interested in World War II. His firsthand account brings those 63
days to life.
