To safeguard Britain's art treasures at the outbreak of WWII, pictures and other artefacts were distributed amongst a number of large country houses, the owners often vying for the right to house them. By mid 1940 however, circumstances made the country houses untenable as German air bases in France made the whole of Britain vulnerable. Eventually two deep underground repositories were constructed in Wales and Wiltshire and, by the end of 1942, virtually all the nation's cultural heritage was concentrated in these underground treasure houses.

The 1st Polish Armoured Division, under the leadership of General Stanislaw Maczek, arose out of the ashes of the Polish defeat in 1939. It was able to return to Europe in August 1944 on the side of the Western Allies, achieving glory in the Normandy bocage, the Falaise Gap, Hill 262, the advance into Belgium and Holland, and final victory on German soil. Because of the politics of post-war Europe, it was unable to liberate Poland from the tyranny of the Soviet Union. The book is researched from Polish, English and German sources, and includes nearly 100 photographs (many previously unpublished), maps, and detailed appendices, including a list of medal recipients.
