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.
