Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book is moral dynamite. It reveals not only what men can do in war but also what war can do to men. Norman Davies, historian and academic Stefan Dambski joined the Polish Home Army in 1942 when he was just 16 years old. The Home Army formed the military wing of the Polish Underground, the resistance movement established to fight the Nazi occupation of Poland during the Second World War. During this occupation, the Home Army passed death sentences on hundreds of individuals both Nazi enemies and colluding Polish compatriots. As one of the few Home Army members who volunteered to carry out these death sentences, the young Dambski quickly became a seasoned executioner. In July 1945, Dambski was transferred to the West and ended up in the United States where he remained until his death in 1993. In his final years, Dambski recorded his story in fascinating, shocking detail. After his death, his memoirs came into the possession of his niece and nephew before eventually arriving at the KARTA Foundation in 2005. Initially published in the original Polish, Sobieralski's translation of Dambski's records now gives English-language readers a hugely important insight into the mind of this seasoned executioner. Readers are made aware of the facts and actions of Dambski's life, but are witness to the lifelong moral struggle that accompanied these actions and led him to reflect on ideas of heroism, patriotism, guilt and on the very act of war itself. Marek Sobieralski, based in Wiltshire, regularly writes for History of War magazine and published his first book, The Katyn Diaries, in 2021. This was a collection of diaries of Polish military officers murdered by the NKVD in 1940, translated into English. He continues to work on various diverse writing projects.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. On 1 August 1944, the Polish Home Army launched the Warsaw Uprising, the largest act of armed resistance by any European underground movement during the Second World War. For sixty-three days, soldiers and civilians fought a desperate battle to liberate their capital before the advancing Soviet Army arrived. Instead, the Red Army halted outside the city, allowing German forces to crush the uprising with overwhelming force.The result was one of the greatest tragedies of the war. Up to 170,000 civilians were killed, survivors were driven from their homes, and Warsaw itself was systematically destroyed in an attempt to erase both its people and its history.Rather than recounting these events through the eyes of later historians, Razing Warsaw allows those who lived through them to speak for themselves. Drawn from the remarkable archives of the KARTA Foundation, this unique collection presents commanders' orders, official reports, private letters, diary entries and eyewitness testimonies in chronological sequence, taking the reader from the difficult decision to launch the uprising through the fighting, suffering and ultimate destruction of one of Europe's great cities.Appearing in English for the first time in this outstanding translation by Marek Sobieralski, these powerful voices reveal the courage, fear, hope and despair of ordinary men and women caught in extraordinary circumstances. Together they create an unforgettable portrait of a city fighting for its life, and a vital historical record of one of the defining yet too often overlooked episodes of the Second World War.Essential reading for anyone interested in the Second World War, resistance movements, urban warfare and the human cost of conflict, Razing Warsaw is both a compelling historical document and a lasting memorial to the people of Warsaw.
