audiobook The Campaign of Waterloo: The Classic Account of Napoleon’s Last Battles (The Napoleonic Library) by John Fortescue in History

Description

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 With previously unpublished first-hand accounts; information never before seen in English; and rare photographs; this title provides a detailed analysis of the devastation the war brought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.
