The collapse of Tsarist Russia in 1917 and of the Central Powers in 1918 allowed these diverse forces to unite in a recreated Polish Army under the newborn Second Polish Republic in November 1918. With full color illustrations of their unique and colorful uniforms as well as contemporary photographs, this is the fascinating story of the Poles who fought on both sides in the trenches in World War I and then united to fight for their freedom in the Russian Civil War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nigel Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472825446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472825445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 7.20w x 0.40d","brand":"Nigel Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935483429119,"sku":"9781472825445","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2a009e22-bc7b-451e-a5e3-10ea73854904.jpg?v=1681420068","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/polish-legions-1914-19-nigel-thomas-9781472825445","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
