      Focusing on Poland's diplomatic history from the end of WWI to WWII, the study highlights the nation's precarious position as a pawn in the politics of France, Great Britain, and the United States. Despite its nominal sovereignty, Poland's fate was largely dictated by the shifting dynamics among the Great Powers. The narrative is enhanced by unique anecdotes and archival material, culminating in the poignant moment of Poland's abandonment by the West, leading to its subjugation by the Soviet Union.

      During World War II, Jan Karski disguised himself as a guard to infiltrate a Nazi death camp.

This is his story.
