A new and definitive account of the German invasion of Poland that initiated WWII in 1939, written by a historian at the height of his abilities.
Roger Moorhouse is a historian and author specialising in modern German history. He is the co-author, with Norman Davies, of Microcosm- Portrait of a Central European City, and the author of Killing Hitler- The Third Reich and the Plots Against the Fuhrer and The Devil's Alliance- Hitler's Pact with Stalin.
We tend to overlook “the war that Hitler won”, but Roger Moorhouse
brilliantly underlines its crucial importance for the future course
of the Second World War. This deeply researched, very well-written
and penetrating book will be the standard work on the subject for
many years to come
*Andrew Roberts, author of ‘Churchill: Walking with Destiny’*
[A] chilling, indignant narrative… Moorhouse has expertly laid
bare…[the] truth
*The Times*
Moorhouse’s book remedies that gap [in history of The Polish War],
weaving together archival material, first-hand accounts, perceptive
analysis and heartbreaking descriptions of Poland’s betrayal,
defeat and dismemberment
*Economist*
[A] fascinating book… Moorhouse has mastered a large body of
material… this is…a very valuable book, as it gathers a mass of
detail into a lucid narrative for general readers
*Sunday Telegraph*
An important book. Roger Moorhouse has a wonderful knack of
reminding us about the parts of the Second World War that we are in
danger of forgetting
*Dan Snow*
