Nothing but Honour: The Story of the Warsaw Uprising, 1944 chronicles one of the most dramatic and tragic episodes of World War II — the Polish resistance fighters' desperate 63-day battle against Nazi German forces in occupied Warsaw. Written by J. K. Zawodny, an Avery Professor of International Relations at Claremont Graduate School and Pomona College, the work draws on meticulous research, survivor testimonies, and archival documents to reconstruct the full scope of the uprising with scholarly authority. The narrative details the political miscalculations, acts of extraordinary courage, and ultimate devastation that befell the Polish Home Army and the civilian population of Warsaw in the summer and autumn of 1944. Zawodny argues with precision and moral clarity that the uprising stands as a defining moment of Polish national identity, shaped as much by geopolitical betrayal as by military defeat. The tone is rigorous yet deeply human, making this an indispensable account for students of modern European history and World War II.
