Adam Zamoyski'This is a grim story, thoroughly researched and brilliantly told.' Geoffrey Alderman, Times Higher EducationThe Katyn Massacre of 22,000 Polish prisoners of war is a crime to which there are no witnesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommitted in utmost secrecy in April-May 1940 by the NKVD on the direct orders of Joseph Stalin, for nearly fifty years the Soviet regime succeeded in maintaining the fiction that Katyn was a Nazi atrocity, their story unchallenged by Western governments fearful of upsetting a powerful wartime ally and Cold War adversary. Surviving Katyn explores the decades-long search for answers, focusing on the experience of those individuals with the most at stake - the few survivors of the massacre and the Polish wartime forensic investigators - whose quest for the truth in the face of an inscrutable, unknowable, and utterly ruthless enemy came at great personal cost.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cobham Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55491415835010,"sku":"9780861543038","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/4567\/2367\/files\/9780861543038.jpg?v=1753746328","url":"https:\/\/www.cobhambooks.live\/products\/9780861543038","provider":"Cobham Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
