In the Fall of 1918 it became clear the Polish-Ukrainian ethnic
borderlands would become a battlefield for the two nations. Both
wanted to incorporate the disputed territory. On November 1st 1918,
Ukrainian conspirators managed a successful military and political
coup, taking control of Lviv with hardly any bloodshed. Several
hours afterwards, Polish underground forces already began preparing
a counterattack. A few days later, front lines stretched across the
city. The fighting concluded on November 22nd with a Ukrainian
retreat and an ethnic cleansing of the local Jewish population. The
events that took place in Lviv in November 1918 to this day remain
at the epicenter of Polish-Ukrainian conflict. The book tackles the
themes of this unrest and its symptoms, from the 1920s to present
day.
