Synopsis

By the beginning of October 1939, when cosmopolitan Warsaw fell to German occupation, a young Zionist leader, Issac Zuckerman, had already been mobilizing the youngsters in the youth group that he led. Isaac's Army tells how the Jewish Resistance Force held out until the war's end and compellingly recreates a desperate time in Polish history, marked by the perseverance and heroism of those who battled to drive the Nazis from their city.

'A taut and worthy retelling ... will be controversial' Publishers Weekly.

'Transcends horror [and] finds real inspiration in the bravery of those who fought back' Alan Furst.

'Exceptionally harrowing ... written in a visceral, novelistic style Brzezinski's book is clearly the product of massive research ... it deserves praise as a fitting testament to human resilience' Sunday Business Post.
