WINNER OF THE MARK LYNTON HISTORY PRIZE LONGLISTED FOR THE RSL
ONDAATJE PRIZE ‘A gripping reconstruction… utterly compelling
reading.’ Adam Zamoyski ‘This is a grim story, thoroughly
researched and brilliantly told.’ Geoffrey Alderman, Times
Higher Education The Katyn Massacre of 22,000 Polish prisoners of
war is a crime to which there are no witnesses. Committed in utmost
secrecy in April–May 1940 by the NKVD on the direct orders of
Joseph Stalin, for nearly fifty years the Soviet regime succeeded
in maintaining the fiction that Katyn was a Nazi atrocity, their
story unchallenged by Western governments fearful of upsetting a
powerful wartime ally and Cold War adversary. Surviving
Katyn explores the decades-long search for answers, focusing
on the experience of those individuals with the most at stake –
the few survivors of the massacre and the Polish wartime forensic
investigators – whose quest for the truth in the face of an
inscrutable, unknowable, and utterly ruthless enemy came at great
personal cost.
