Poland Alone focuses on the conflicts inside the British Government and military establishment over a response to Poland's desperate plight in 1944; Auschwitz still continued its terrible mission while the Polish Home Army attempted to wrest Warsaw back from German control, with bloody consequences. Using veterans' testimonies and previously classified material, Jonathan Walker examines the heroic attempts by elements of SOE and the RAF to aid the Poles, against a background of Allied inertia and calculating Soviet ambition. The War ended with over six million Poles dead, the crushing of their resistance movement and their culture, and the imposition of Soviet control. What more could Britain have done to help her loyal ally?
