"Rising" is the compelling and spellbinding novel set against the ill-fated Warsaw Uprising. Historically accurate to the drama's most definable details, it encompasses a gut-wrenching tale of the many heroic lives impacted by this rising of the war-weary Poles against their oppressive overlords, the Nazi forces of Adolf Hitler's Germany, as theirdire situation is catastrophically manipulated by Stalin's Soviet forces. "Rising" is the sequel to the author's earlier offering, "Resistance," documenting the origins and development of the Polish Underground Resistance following the dual invasions of September 1939. The author weaves the threads of lives of ordinary Warszawians left hanging from the earlier novel "Resistance" into a tapestry of their interwoven relationships as they form into the critical fabric that would become swaddling cloth of the birth of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising.
