“In recognition of this book’s advancement of new research and analysis, from a Ukrainian viewpoint, of a historically sensitive period in Ukrainian-Polish relations, which will no doubt help generate future academic discussions on this topic.”
Translated from the second edition of the original work published in 2012 by the University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy Publishing House, the 2020 translation attempts to provide a broader historical context to a wider Polish-Ukrainian civil war that was not rooted in one event, namely 1943 Volhynia, but rather began in 1942 and ended in 1947.
