Surviving Katyń: Stalin's Polish Massacre and the Search for Truth
by Jane Rogoyska
Surviving Katyń is a history book that makes the blood run cold. Thousands of Polish prisoners of war were massacred in secrecy, on the orders of the NKVD boss, Lavrenty Beria. When mass graves were discovered in 1943, the Soviets blamed the atrocity on the Nazis, and didn’t admit the crime until half a century later. Rogoyska previously wrote a gripping novel about Katyń, Kozlowski.
