The best book about the resistance I have ever read. It addresses the story with scholarly objectivity and an absolute lack of sentimentality ... it is marvellous to read a study of such breadth and depth, which reaches balanced judgments.
Max Hastings, Sunday Times
Ground-breaking ... Resistance is a superb, myth-busting survey of the many ways in which the subjugated peoples of Europe tried to fight back.
Saul David, Daily Telegraph
A superb account of Poland during the second world war ... The pain and loss is poignantly evoked by Kochanski ... The Eagle Unbowed, a model history, conveys with harrowing immediacy the plight of the Polish people in the conflict.
Ian Thomson, Spectator
Poland's war was so terrible as to almost defy summary ... this book is opinionated, fluid and forceful.
Oliver Bullough, New Statesman
PRAISE FOR THE EAGLE UNBOWED: 'An extraordinary achievement ... a brilliant exercise in historiography ... Kochanski neither debunks nor sensationalises. The truth is far more powerful than the legend. It's great history writing'
