Title: A must read for any 20th century history fan
Review: A relatively short and well-written account of the unknown war of the 20th century, but one that shaped the future of Europe, one that was a major influence on the thinking of major European figures such as Charles de Gaulle, a volunteer in the Polish army at the time, and Stalin, whose friends and enemies were set by this war (to the fatal detriment of his enemies). Though a war of old school cavalry and infantry, it turned out to be the training ground for the Blitzkrieg of WWII, whose major developers were actually the Polish General Sikorski and the Russian Marshall Tukhachevsky. Unfortunately, their political opponents took over power in Poland and Russia and they were ignored, and the only one who did learn the lessons of this war was Nazi Germany. Well balanced and objective.
