Almost unknown in the West ... submitted by GJBarnett2 on July 4, 2013, 11:32pm ... the incredible heroic story of Poland's unceasing resistance to Nazi aggression from literally the first day of WWII to the last, within the occupied territory as well as with the Soviet armies and the armies of the western allies in Italy, Normandy and in Operation Market-Garden.

Recommended submitted by AGAPHD on June 20, 2020, 10:01pm There's certainly no shortage of books on WWII, but this one covers material that's usually overlooked. If you're interested in Poland or WWII history, this is a good read.
