| Opplysninger | Adam Zamoyski. - This book tells the dramatic and little-known story of how, in the summer of 1920, Lenin came within a hair's breadth of shattering the painstakingly constructed Versailles peace settlement and spreading Bolshevism to western Europe. The author describes how the Polish army led by self-taught general and former terrorist Josef Pilsudski achieved at the last minute one of the most decisive victories in military history, in which areoplanes and tanks were swamped by swirling masses of mounted Cossacks and lancers in scenes reminiscent of the Napolenic wars.
