Summary/Abstract: The book written to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the Battle of Warsaw shows this historic battle in broad historical and cultural context. The main theme of the publication is the military triumph, which resulted from the heroic endeavour of the whole nation, military genius of the commander-in-chief and his generals, the work of radio intelligence officers and tremendous support of Polish Catholic Church. The comments of renowned historians are accompanied by reflections of art historians who present an iconographic panorama of Polish military triumphs, and the Battle of Warsaw in visual culture, as well as in collective memory, severely deformed during the Soviet dominance.
