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.
