Author signing with Kenneth K Koskodan for his book No Greater Ally: The Untold Story of Poland's Forces in World War II
There is a
chapter of World War 2 history that remains largely untold: the story of
the fourth largest Allied military of the war, and the only nation to
have fought in the battles of Leningrad, Arnhem, Tobruk and Normandy.
This is the story of the Polish forces during the Second World War, the
story of millions of young men and women who gave everything for freedom
and in the final victory lost all. In a cruel twist of history, the
monumental struggles of an entire nation have been largely forgotten,
and even intentionally obscured.
Available for the first time in paperback, No Greater Ally
redresses the balance, giving a comprehensive overview of Poland's
participation in World War 2. Following their valiant but doomed defense
of Poland in 1939, members of the Polish armed forces fought with the
Allies wherever and however they could. With previously unpublished
first-hand accounts, information never before seen in English, and rare
photographs, this title provides a detailed analysis of the devastation
the war brought to Poland, and the final betrayal when, having fought
for freedom for six long years, Poland was handed to the Soviet Union.
