One of the most dramatic and shameful episodes in World War II
was the doomed Warsaw uprising of 1944--an uprising that failed
because the Allies betrayed it. Now that story comes to its full
terrible life in this gripping account by the bestselling historian
Norman Davies.
In August 1944, encouraged by the advance of the Red Army, the
Polish Resistance poured forty thousand fighters into the streets
of Warsaw to reclaim the city from the hated Germans. But Stalin
condemned the uprising as a criminal venture. For sixty-three days
the Wehrmacht methodically set about crushing the rebellion and
destroying the city. Following the battle's desperate progress
through the cellars and sewers of Warsaw, Rising '44 retrieves its
subject from the shadows of history, revealing its pivotal
importance to the outcome of World War II and the Cold War that
followed.
