0 comments By Jesse Bullington

I don't believe in evil. It's a word I use, certainly, because words are shortcuts and we all take the short way round from time to time, but that's... Continue »

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The 14,500 Polish army officers, police, gendarmes, and civilians taken prisoner by the Red Army when it invaded eastern Poland in September 1939 were held in three special NKVD camps and executed at three different sites in spring 1940, of which the one in Katyn Forest is the most famous. Another 7,300 prisoners held in NKVD jails in Ukraine and Belarus were also shot at this time, although many others disappeared without trace. The murder of these Poles is among the most monstrous mass murders undertaken by any modern government.

 

Three leading historians of the NKVD massacres of Polish prisoners of war at Katyn, Kharkov, and Tvernow subsumed under “Katyn”present 122 documents selected from the published Russian and Polish volumes coedited by Natalia S. Lebedeva and Wojciech Materski. The documents, with introductions and notes by Anna M. Cienciala, detail the Soviet killings, the elaborate cover-up, the admission of the truth, and the Katyn question in Soviet/Russian–Polish relations up to the present.

Review:

"An extremely important book on one of the signature crimes of Stalinism and one of the great efforts of obfuscation of Soviet propaganda."-Timothy Snyder, Yale University

Review:

"This is not only a story about a cruel crime that remains unpunished. It is also a story about historical truth versus denial, about moral impulses versus political cynicism. A piece of Polish history but also a message of universal importance."-Janusz Reiter, Ambassador of Poland

Synopsis:

The 14,500 army officers, police, gendarmes, and civilians taken by the Red Army when it invaded eastern Poland in September 1939 were executed at three different sites, of which Katyn is the most famous. Other prisoners--7,300 of them--were also shot elsewhere at this time. These massacres are among the most monstrous mass murders undertaken by any modern government. For over fifty years, the crime was not expiated, punished, or even acknowledged. In this book the world's three leading historians of the Katyn massacre present 122 documents, with introductions and notes by Anna M. Cienciala, selected from the published Russian and Polish volumes coedited by Natalia S. Lebedeva and Wojciech Materski. The documents detail the Soviet killings, the elaborate cover-up, the admission of truth, and the Katyn question in Soviet/Russian relations with Poland up to the present.
