  This study of Poland is rooted in first-hand knowledge of the country spanning almost fifty years. Denis Hills has been forced to flee Poland three times, first in 1939, then twice during 1985, when he returned to compare Poland post-Solidarity with the country he knew before the war. Travelling in an aged Bedford camper, Hills talked to Poles, gypsies and British Council pundits and visited Warsaw, Cracow and Auschwitz-Birkenau, to gain a perspective of the country past and present. The author's previous books include The White Pumpkin , The Last Days of White Rhodesia and The Rock of the Wind .
