Normandy breakout until the end of the war. Beautifully

On 1st August, 1944, Polish insurgents
of the Home Army rose against the Germans. The resulting
two-month battle left the city in ruins and led to bitter
controversies over the Allies failure to rescue the city.
This account of the uprising is highlighted by reminiscences
from Polish and German participants, but the bulk relates to
the political background and in the aftermath with
diplomatic wrangling between the exiled Polish government in
London, the Western Allies and Stalin. It denounces Stalin
for deliberately allowing the non-Communist Home Army to be
crushed, the Western Allies for acquiescing, and British
intellectuals for toeing the Communist line.
Subtitled 'Subversion, Insurgency, and Peacekeeping', this is a
reprint of Sir Frank Kitson's acclaimed work. When the book was
first published in the 1970s, the US was losing an insurgency in
Vietnam, and Great Britain was in its final stages as a colonial
power. By that point, Britain had participated in more than 30
low intensity operations, and had been unsuccessful in most of
them. Kitson, a veteran of many, decided to put his thoughts on
paper as to how he thought these battles could be won.
ATOMIC: THE FIRST WAR OF PHYSICS AND
THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE ATOM BOMB - 1939-49
by Jim Baggott
A popular account of the race to build humankind's most
destructive weapon. The book draws on declassified material,
such as MI6's FarmHall transcripts, coded Soviet messages
cracked by American cryptographers in the Venona project,
and interpretations by Russian scholars of documents from
the Soviet archives. This is an epic story of science and
technology at the very limits of human understanding - a
tale barely believable as fiction, which just happens to be
historical fact.
