Review:

“Deeply moving . . . A detailed narrative of the brutal crushing of the uprising as seen through civilian eyes . . . "Warsaw 1944" is an important contribution to a tragic literature.” ―The Wall Street Journal

“Engrossing ... A massively researched, profoundly unsettling work revealing how the battle for Warsaw exposed the perfidy of East and West alike” ―Kirkus

“Richie's detailed and sympathetic history ... draws heavily on private archives and recounts many unpublished stories. Such survivors' testimony make it the definitive study of the uprising” ―The Economist

“Unusually well-placed to research and rehearse the story of that terrible event ... [Richie] offers a comprehensive narrative of the Polish experience” ―The Sunday Times (UK)

“Richie is an unrelenting storyteller: Page turns offer little respite for the reader in this grim and chilling book that delivers exhaustive and unforgettable details of this gruesome chapter of World War II.” ―Publisher's Weekly

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The traumatic story of one of the last major battles of World War II, in which the Poles fought off German troops and police, street by street, for sixty-three days. Warsaw 1944 tells the story of one of historys bravest revolts and of how this errant calculation ended in one of its greatest crimes. As Soviet soldiers turned back the Nazi invasion of Russia and began pressing west, the Underground Polish Home Army rose to fight and to liberate the city of Warsaw for themselves. For more than sixty days, Polish fighters took over large parts of the city and held off the SSs most brutal forces. But the German retaliation was monstrous.This book is the first to recount the bravery, misjudgement, breakdown and tragedy from German and Polish perspectives and asks why, when the war was nearly lost, Hitler diverted Himmlers savage Bandit Hunters from the east to raze Warsaw to the ground. Drawing upon a rich trove of primary sources including her father-in-law, a Polish combatant Alexandra Richie relates the terrible experiences of individuals who fought in the uprising, revealing the fraught choices of some of the wars most unsung heroes. It is also the story of a citys unbreakable spirit in the face of unspeakable barbarism. The traumatic story of one of the last major battles of World War II, in which the Poles fought off German troops and police, street by street, for sixty-three days.
