Hi Andrzejku, thanks for the post , my copy is on it's way. It's nice to see Evan McGilvray follow up with another book about the Polish 1st Armoured after "The Black Devils' March - A Doomed Odyssey:
Here's the book description from a seller's site:

Required reading for everyone interested in Poland's 20th century development.
White Eagle Red Star The Polish-Soviet War 1919-20
by Norman Davies
Originally published in 1972, Softcover in 1983
Republished 2003 by Pimlico ISBN 9780712606943
The most recent book includes wonderful copies of original photographs that were not in the earlier volumes.
This is a most own and read for any serious student of Poland's history.
Professor Davies is one of Poland's strongest supporters and defender of the truth in the face of many historical revisionists
and academics with serious political agendas.

... although IMO Warsaw 1920: Lenin's Failed Conquest of Europe by Adam Zamoyski is written in a more readable style

Congratulations on your latest acquisition.
Thanks Mike,
"First to Return" was originally published in London (1946) in Polish under the title of "Pierwszy skok". In 1980 Zabielski self-published a book of poetry about the cichociemni under the title of; "Wrócą orły : cichociemni w poezji" which I also recently tracked down

UGE TO LIVE

Cambridge, MA 1986

Again going through things I thought I would share this book with everyone along with a private note from Dr. Wysocki and some photographs of the POW cap he wore at Miranda de Ebro Concentration Camp in Spain.

Dr. Boleslaw Wysocki, 91, a Polish expatriate who wrote eloquently about the horrors of life in a Spanish concentration camp during World War II, died Monday at his Cambridge home.
A retired professor of psychology at Boston College, Dr. Wysocki was the author of "Urge to Live," a memoir of the three years he spent in the Miranda de Ebro concentration camp, which was operated by the fascist government in Spain. He said he was inspired to write the book, which was published in 1988 and is now out of print, when he realized most Americans did not even know there were Spanish concentration camps.
