{"product_id":"the-warsaw-underground-jan-rosinski-9780786476930","title":"The Warsaw Underground: A Memoir of Resistance, 1939-1945","description":"\u003cp\u003e The German invasion of Poland in September 1939 abruptly ended author Jan Rosinski's student life, and propelled him into an activist role in the Polish resistance organization \u003ci\u003eArmia Krajowa\u003c\/i\u003e. In short order he became a talented forger of Nazi documents, especially travel papers that allowed many refugees to escape the city. His university studies in chemistry and physics created a role for him as an effective saboteur. Narrowly escaping death on several occasions, he was fearless in his pursuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e His dislike of the Nazi leadership was exceeded by an even greater hatred of the Soviet Army as it invaded Poland from the East less than a month later. Poland would be sealed off from the West for fifty years. Rosinski's travails as a POW in Germany eventually led him to the Allied forces in Germany; the U.S. became the beneficiary of his brilliant discoveries in atmospheric science. Jan was accompanied on his life's journey by his wife Barbara (d. 1993), who served as a medical officer in the underground army; Jan died in 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jan Rosinski, Richard Hile\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786476931\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786476930\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Jan Rosinski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46806947397887,"sku":"9780786476930","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e37edf4-ee43-4693-a9b0-a8a43b5946e1.jpg?v=1745378141","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-warsaw-underground-jan-rosinski-9780786476930","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
