Plucked from a decade of \"wilderness years,\" General Wladyslaw Sikorski (1881-1943) led the Polish nation in World War II.  During the most desperate year of the war-June 1940 fall of France to June 1941 German invasion of Soviet Union-Poland remained Great Britain's largest ally due to Sikorski's tireless efforts.  As Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief, Sikorski's commanding presence, skillful diplomacy, and decisiveness under pressure earned the respect of Churchill and Roosevelt. On July 4, 1943, Sikorski was killed in a mysterious plane crash that still fuels conspiracy theories 70 years later.  Sikorski was \"no simple soldier.\" Dynamic life told through visual history, including groundbreaking digital extras.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43204921983154,"sku":"9781607720119","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/products\/9781607720119.jpg?v=1699102669","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781607720119","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
