Bloomsbury presents Warsaw: A City at War, 1939–45 by Prit Buttar and Lottie Taylor read by James Parsons

Discover the history of Warsaw’s six-year struggle through the devastation of war and the city’s enduring spirit.

In Warsaw: A City at War 1939–45, historians Prit Buttar and Lottie Taylor bring to light the unparalleled experience of a city caught between two invading powers, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, and the resilience of its citizens.

This fascinating history illuminates how Warsaw’s centuries-old fight for identity shaped the course of its wartime experience. For a mere 21 years, Warsaw thrived as the proud capital of an independent Poland, only to be betrayed when Nazi Germany invaded in 1939. Yet the heart of the city – its people – refused to surrender. From the tragic Ghetto Uprising to the heroic city-wide revolt, Warsaw's resistance was fierce as it faced the systematic attempt to erase it from the map. The story does not end with the conclusion of the war, as Warsaw found itself trapped behind the Iron Curtain.

This compelling narrative is not just about battles – it’s about a city and its inhabitants, whose unwavering spirit defined them in the darkest of times. Drawing from rare archival material including countless first-hand accounts, Warsaw’s wartime years are majestically brought to life.©2026 Prit Buttar (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Deutschland Europa Militär Russland
