Along with thousands of his compatriots, Wladyslaw Anders was
imprisoned by the Soviets when they attacked Poland with their
German allies in 1939\. They endured terrible treatment until the
German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 suddenly put Stalin in
the Allied camp, after which they were evacuated to Iran and formed
into the Polish Second Corps under Anders command. Once equipped
and trained, the corps was eventually committed to the Italian
campaign, notably at Monte Cassino. The author assesses Anders
performance as a military commander, finding him merely adequate,
but his political role was more significant and caused friction in
the Allied camp. From the start he often opposed Sikorski, the
Polish Prime Minister in exile and Commander in Chief of Polish
armed forces in the West. Indeed, Anders was suspected of collusion
in Sikorski s death in July 1943 and of later sending Polish death
squads into Poland to eliminate opponents, charges that Evan
McGilvray investigates. Furthermore, Anders voiced his deep
mistrust of Stalin and urged a war against the Soviets after the
defeat of Hitler.
