Drawing on Polish, German and Soviet sources, ‘First to Fight’ is the definitive history of the German invasion of Poland, which opened the war in September 1939. Roger Moorhouse provides a dramatic narrative of military events, brought to life by a select cast of generals and politicians, soldiers and civilians from all sides. In the process, he explores many of the myths that still surround the campaign and challenge our understanding of how Britain and France entered the war.
