Documents the population movement, much of it involuntary, that resulted from two periods of Soviet occupation of Polish territory during World War II, 1939-41 and 1944-45. The first followed a Nazi-Soviet pact and brought about mass deportations and amnesty to Poles captured by Germans. The second, less well known, was due to a break in Soviet-Polish relations in 1943; large numbers of the Polish underground army were deported in 1944-45, and over a million Poles moved west under a repatriation scheme 1944-48. Sword (Slavonic and East European studies, U. of London) draws heavily on emigrant accounts. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
