Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The narrative centers on the tragic events of the Katyn massacre during World War II, where 25,700 Polish prisoners were executed under Stalin's orders. Initially imprisoned by the Soviets, these soldiers faced brutal conditions before being taken to remote locations for execution. The discovery of mass graves by the Germans led to a historical blame game, with the Soviets denying responsibility until the fall of communism in 1990, when the truth was finally acknowledged. The book explores themes of political manipulation, memory, and the human cost of war.
