The Rape Of Poland: Pattern Of Soviet Aggression (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781430496380)

""The Rape of Poland: Pattern of Soviet Aggression"" is a historical book written by Stanislaw Mikolajczyk that sheds light on the Soviet Union's invasion of Poland during World War II. The book provides a comprehensive account of the events that led to the invasion, the strategies employed by the Soviet Union, and the atrocities committed against the Polish people.Mikolajczyk, who was the Prime Minister of the Polish Government-in-Exile during the war, offers a firsthand account of the invasion and its aftermath. He describes the political and military situation in Poland before the invasion, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact between Germany and the Soviet Union, and the subsequent invasion of Poland by both countries.The book explores the Soviet Union's motivations for invading Poland, including its desire to expand its influence in Eastern Europe and its fear of a strong, independent Poland. Mikolajczyk also describes the brutal tactics used by the Soviet Union, including the massacre of Polish officers at Katyn, the deportation of millions of Polish citizens to Siberia, and the destruction of Polish culture and institutions.Through his detailed analysis, Mikolajczyk argues that the invasion of Poland was not an isolated event but rather a pattern of Soviet aggression that continued throughout the Cold War. He also highlights the role of the Western Allies in enabling the Soviet Union's actions and calls for a reevaluation of the post-war settlement.Overall, ""The Rape of Poland: Pattern of Soviet Aggression"" is a powerful and important work that provides a valuable perspective on one of the darkest periods in European history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
