Beschreibung
The book vividly and engagingly depicts the atmosphere and events of the last eleven days of August 1939, which ultimately lead to a war unlike any humanity has ever experienced. The narrative begins on Monday, August 21, 1939 - the day when Hitler learned that Stalin would sign a non-aggression pact with him, allowing him to invade Poland. To portray the tense atmosphere of those last holiday days, the author utilizes a wide range of sources and period materials: diplomatic records, diaries, letters, and memoirs of statesmen and diplomats, as well as those whose testimonies have often not yet been published, and last but not least, also the daily press.
