Poland's Navy, 1918-1945

"In this well researched and informative history, the author outlines the role of the Polish Navy from its creation through World War II, including major battles and operations in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Arctic. Divided into eleven chapters and supplemented with seven appendices, Poland's Navy, 1918-1945 also includes a comprehensive listing of bibliographical resources and an index of names of ships, officers, and other important figures."--BOOK JACKET.

First sentence: Archaeological research suggests that, well over a thousand years ago, there were Slavic tribes living on the shores of the southern Baltic, engaging in various maritime pursuits, such as fishing, coastal commerce, and of course the usual brigandage, pillage, and piracy.
