In White Eagle, Red Star, Norman Davies gives a full account of the Polish-Soviet War of 1919-1920, with its dramatic climax in August 1920 when the Red Army - sure of victory and pledged to carry the Revolution across Europe to "water our horses on the Rhine" - was crushed by a devastating Polish attack. Since known as the "miracle on the Vistula", it remains one of the most decisive battles of the Western world.
