Publisher's Summary
There is a chapter of World War II history that remains largely untold: the story of the fourth largest Allied military of the war, and the only nation to have fought in the battles of Leningrad, Arnhem, Tobruk, and Normandy.
This is the story of the Polish forces during the Second World War, the story of millions of young men and women who gave everything for freedom and in the final victory lost all. In a cruel twist of history, the monumental struggles of an entire nation have been largely forgotten, and even intentionally obscured.
No Greater Ally redresses the balance, giving a comprehensive overview of Poland's participation in World War II. Following their valiant but doomed defense of Poland in 1939, members of the Polish armed forces fought with the Allies wherever and however they could. This title provides a detailed analysis of the devastation the war brought to Poland, and the final betrayal when, having fought for freedom for six long years, Poland was handed to the Soviet Union.

Polish pronunciation was crap
the narrator managed to butcher every polish name and word in this book, they really need to hire people who are fluent in the language

Eye opening and awesome
This book was so incredibly informative. Learning that Poland was not steamrolled by the nazis and held their own so fiercely that it took France & England hanging them out to dry AND Russia invading Poland from the eastern side to finally defeat them. The Polish Air-force was incredibly, the ground army was relentless, and both were highly decorated and revered by their fellow soldiers. The horror that the Polish people endured by the hands of the Nazis and Russians was heartbreaking and unforgivable. I’ve never been prouder to be Polish.

Excellent! A must-read!
Finally...the untold and often forgotten chapter in history of Poland's valor and crucial role in defeating Nazi Germany in WWII is told in this excellent book. Extremely well researched and very well written, this is a MUST-READ for anyone interested in the true history of WWII. The heroism of Poland and the Polish people in defending against both the Nazis and Soviets and in liberating Europe from the grips of tyranny cannot be forgotten. No Greater Ally should be a chapter in every world history textbook. Mr. Koskodan, bravo and thank you for telling this story.

How the Poles Fought the Nazis.
Narration: Clear and engaging.
Content: Fascinating, detailed--but not too detailed--accounts of how the Poles fought against the Nazis. Push-overs they weren't

One of the saddest books ever
Betrayal, Realpolitik - Abandoned at Fall Weiss (Case White), murdered or marched to Siberia death camps (Katyn Forest), paras destroyed by Brit incompetence at Market-Garden and written off at Yalta by the Western Allies because of Stalin.

Excellent
Excellent historical breakdown of the incredible Polish achievements. This is hopefully another small step in correcting a false history written and or ignored in so many other history books.
