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.

This is a story that needed to be told. The Polish accomplishments that were purposely hidden by its allies, especially the British and Americans, along with the atrocities by the Nazis and the Russians.

Polish Tragedy

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.

Eye opening and awesome

A detailed accounting of Poland’s overlooked and misperceived military contribution to the Allies’ victory in North Africa, Italy, and Europe (Western and Eastern). Well researched and presented.

Must read for students of WWII

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.

Excellent! A must-read!

A well told story of the struggle for freedom by the Polish people from their foes and from those who were supposed to help them but instead exploited them.

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.

One of the saddest books ever

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

How the Poles Fought the Nazis.

Great listen about the untold stories of WW2. As usual, the pronounciation of Polish names, locations, etc, are mispronounced, but something that I was able to get over (self corrected in my head). Would definitely recommend.

Great listen.
