This is the story of the Polish forces during the Second World War, the story of millions of young men and women who gave everything for freedom and in the final victory lost all. In a cruel twist of history, the monumental struggles of an entire nation have been largely forgotten, and even intentionally obscured. Available for the first time in paperback, No Greater Ally redresses the balance, giving a comprehensive overview of Poland's participation in World War 2. Following their valiant but doomed defense of Poland in 1939, members of the Polish armed forces fought with the Allies wherever and however they could. With previously unpublished first-hand accounts, information never before seen in English, and rare photographs, this title provides a detailed analysis of the devastation the war brought to Poland, and the final betrayal when, having fought for freedom for six long years, Poland was handed to the Soviet Union. Review: Comprehensive and Impressive - This book fills a monumental gap in WW2 history, dispelling the long he'd myth that Poland was a pushover in the war. Barely on its feet after more than a century out of national existence, the Poles put up a better fight than France, which had what was considered the largest and most war ready military of the time, several months to prepare, and were steamrolled in less time despite rthe support of the British troops. And after the initial invasion, the Poles continued fighting, either inside Poland against incredible odds or as foreign attachments to other Allied forces. Poland was the only occupied nation to never establish a Nazi-collaborative government and no country faced harsher retribution from the Nazis for acts of resistance. The book is incredibly well-researched, covering the contributions of every branch of service and the underground resistance in exacting detail, as well as political obstacles and chauvinism they had to overcome: the frustrations of ex-pat warriors sweating out the phony war in France, the triumphs of Polish pilots in the Battle of Britain, the Polish navy at Dunkirk and attacking the vaunted Bismarck, armored units, paratroopers, units fighting under Soviet command, distinguished service on three continents all throughout the war. A must read for fans of military lit and WW2 completists. Review: Thank you Poland - In reading many histories of World War II, Poland is often passingly mentioned as being conquered by Germany and not much else. This book does a good job of changing that, and puts names and faces to a country that I feel may have suffered the worst of any combatant nation. This is not an easy book to read, but an important one, because Poland fought hard but was oppressed and vilified after the war by the Soviet Union. It is a sad book. However, Polish soldiers fought and dies on some of the most important battlefields in the European campaign, and it is only fitting that their efforts are remembered and respected for their contribution to the war effort. The author did a marvelous job of detailing when and where Polish forces fought, and how they contributed to the war. In fact, I feel the author was able to adequately document the viewpoint of Poland and it's people both politically and militarily from the beginning to the end of the war. This book will help with educating the reader on some of the most brave but unsung heroes of World War II ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #365,790 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #601 in Russian History (Books) #2,656 in World War II History (Books) #8,410 in World History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 393 Reviews | ## Images ![No Greater Ally: The Untold Story of Poland’s Forces in World War II (General Military) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814GlK6+I0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive and Impressive *by B***S on January 22, 2020* This book fills a monumental gap in WW2 history, dispelling the long he'd myth that Poland was a pushover in the war.

So much here that never gets told in accounts of famous battles in history books and the like. Also reveals how poorly the allies treated Poland not only during the war, but after also when the Soviets were allowed to take control of Poland without any input from them. The "underground" Poland ran during the war was amazing, not only in scope, but also in results of damage inflicted upon the enemy. Countless deaths of Poles happened during the war, more percentage wise than any other country. Six million Poles were killed in World War II which is about one fifth of the pre-war population. Most of those were civilian victims of war crimes and crimes against humanity during occupation by Germany and the Soviet Union. I was somewhat ashamed after reading this and seeing how the U.S. not only neglected Poland after the war, but almost handed it to Soviets with our blessings. Interesting and amazing reading. Many, many battles involving the Poles are recounted in this book, but for me at least it was never boring and was well written. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/7746067-no-greater-ally-the-untold-story-of-poland-s-forces](https://www.desertcart.us/products/7746067-no-greater-ally-the-untold-story-of-poland-s-forces) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
