Warsaw 1920 by Adam Zamoyski

Almost a source book for the boardgame Red Star White Eagle, this book is a highly engaging, well written description of the campaign.  It came to me highly recommend and it did not disappoint.


The supplied maps help to keep track of the various actions and their locations, although I think having the map for Red Star White Eagle in front of you, along with the counter mix, would be a better aid.  

The multitude of armies and their generals was a bit challenging to manage, but provided I paid attention I found it generally easy to work out who was who.

This is a fascinating period of history, particularly military history, coming on the tail of the fixed position WW1 fronts (at least from the Western perspective) to what was a very fluid war in 1920 with the Soviet invasion of newly reformed Poland. The 1920 war is perhaps just as dynamic as the opening of Barbarossa some twenty years later in terms of kilometres covered.
