Description:
<DIV><B>The &ldquo;exhilarating&rdquo; definitive account of the 1943 uprising in Poland&rsquo;s capital, named a Best Book of the Year by <I>Publishers Weekly</I> and the <I>Jewish Observer</I> (<I>Los Angeles Times</I>).</B><BR /><BR /> &#160;No act of Jewish resistance during the Holocaust fired the imagination quite as much as the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of April 1943. It was an event of epic proportions in which a group of relatively unarmed, untrained Jews managed to lead a military revolt against the Nazi war machine.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> In this riveting, authoritative history, a Holocaust scholar and survivor of the battle draws on diaries, letters, underground press reports, and his own personal experience to bring a landmark moment in Jewish history to life&mdash;offering &ldquo;a dramatic and memorable picture of the ghetto&rdquo; and showing how a vibrant culture shaped the young fighters whose defiance would have far-reaching implications for the Jewish people (<I>Library Journal</I>).<BR /> &#160;<BR /> &ldquo;Superb, moving, richly informative history.&rdquo; &mdash;<I>Publishers Weekly</I><BR /> &#160;<BR /><I>Note: Some photos and maps contained in the print edition of this book have been excluded from the ebook edition.</I></DIV>
