Description
This is the First serious examination of this fascinating Campaign in English. The authors, both experienced defense Writers, have taken advantage of extensive, Little-known Polish documentary sources to provide a provocative look at the battles from the perspective of the Polish Army. The authors tracé the roots of Polish Operational doctrine back to the fast-paced Cavalry battles of the 1920 Russo-Polish War, and examine the Polish Army's efforts to come to grips with Modern, mechanized warfare. The authors also explain how a small, industrially-backward state prepares its armed forces for confrontations with Economically and militarily more Powerful neighbors.
