Note

Summary: "Poland, a nation that stood alone against a superior aggressor, mustered the resilience and determination to mount an effective resistance movement against the forces of Nazism. A nation defiant illustrates the impact of the Second World War on the lives of ordinary men and women who were forced to live day in and day out under the barbaric rule of the German occupation. With a spirit of defiance and a deep-seated rejection of the German occupation, witness the bravery of a united nation, and the tragedies of war that we dare not forget."--Publisher's website
