Reviews"Chilling... All Poles know that their September war - and ofcourse the many subsequent years of occupation, resistance and exile - was noside-show. Now Moorhouse has expertly laid bare this simple truth: that whentwo totalitarian regimes make common cause, everyone in their immediateneighbourhood is likely to be trampled underfoot."-- The Times of London
SynopsisA "chilling" and "expertly" written history of the 1939 September Campaign and the onset of World War II ( Times of London ). For Americans, World War II began in December of 1941, with the bombing of Pearl Harbor; but for Poland, the war began on September 1, 1939, when Hitler's soldiers invaded, followed later that month by Stalin's Red Army. The conflict that followed saw the debut of many of the features that would come to define the later war-blitzkrieg, the targeting of civilians, ethnic cleansing, and indiscriminate aerial bombing-yet it is routinely overlooked by historians. In Poland 1939 , Roger Moorhouse reexamines the least understood campaign of World War II, using original archival sources to provide a harrowing and very human account of the events that set the bloody tone for the conflict to come., A gripping history of the September Campaign and the onset of World War II For Americans, World War II began in December of 1941, with the bombing of Pearl Harbor; but for Poland, the war began on September 1, 1939, when Hitler's soldiers invaded, followed later that month by Stalin's Red Army.
