and

I bought a copy whilst in Warsaw a couple of weeks ago, but here it is online bookstore in Poland:

Silent and Unseen. I was a Polish WWII special ops commando - Baluk Stefan - Historia - Ksi?garnia internetowa Naukowa.pl - § Ksi?garnia prawnicza (iuris prudentia) - ksi??ki, prawo, ekonomia, politologia, kodeksy

Counting the information in these books the price is well worth it!
Maybe this thread could be on reference books also?

[StefanM]

This book thread almost needs sub-threads(?) under subject headings or whatever to make it an ordered and easy to use database? How could this work?

I would love to see a list of Second Polish Corps books published in Italy 1945-46? I have a couple but have no idea what was produced?

[dorava]

excellent idea..
what would the sub threads be?

reference books pre 39
reference 39 to 45
biographies pre 39
biographies 39 to 45

Something like that??

Good enough
Poles are really taking over the forum
The regiment badge thread has already 14,000 views!

[StefanM]

Maybe it needs to be a sub-forum: Books rather than a just a thread?
Then there could be threads under that?

Don't forget post-war anti-communist resistance 1944-1948 when the which for many Poles is seen as a continuance of WWII... maybe this should be up until 1963 when the last such 'cursed' soldier was killed.

Should the list be just English language books?

[3mk]

I think the Anti-communist Resistance should be counted in with the Exile part since you were Loyal to the Government in Exile:?

[dorava]

I agree with Skorpion
Books should be an entirely new sub forum..
lets see if that is possible
and what the moderators say!

In the first instance, I will make the thread a "sticky", ... which will hold it to the top of the section for general references to books.
