Summary/Abstract: Wrzesień żagwiący (Scorching September) is a book published in 1947 regarded as one of the most significant achievements in Polish wartime reportage. The book was written in parts, with the first section published in the early 1940s, others released during the war, and the remaining sections after its end. The book’s publication in the West allowed Wańkowicz to highlight the role of the Soviet Union in the 1939 Defensive War.
