Case White: The Invasion of Poland 1939 by Robert Forczyk
3.0
I never, ever DNF books but this one had me as close as I've ever came.
Case White is incredibly heavy on military detail which I'm sure is great to those who have at least a base knowledge of military history or just any general military knowledge. For me, as someone who had practically no prior knowledge, this just felt like pages and pages and pages of numbers and weapon listings.
So, I guess that's partly my own issue because without that prior knowledge it's a difficult read but I will say that Case White is still incredibly informative. I'm sure actual historians can better confirm the accuracy of everything detailed here but as a "general" reader of WW2 non-fiction, there was a lot here that I had never known that I found fascinating and would love to learn even more about (perhaps more on the political events) and so I am glad I stuck with it.
Thanks to Osprey Publishing and NetGalley for providing me with a copy for review.
