Warsaw Boy: A Memoir of a Wartime Childhood por Andrew Borowiec
WWII as he lived it. This was written by a man who was in his early teens when the NAZIs and Soviets rolled in their armies and divided Poland. It really puts meat on the bones of this tragic history.
A very moving personal account of the reality of living in Poland prior to and during the Second World War. The author was the son of an officer in the Polish Army, and his insight into life in the country prior to the war is interesting. He then details his life in Poland under German occupation, and later joins the Polish Home Army. The book is written well, and the chronology flows throughout the book. I enjoyed reading it, and importantly, learned a lot about the history of Poland during this period.… (más)
