This special issue has been divided into parts, aimed to present the structure, dynamics, antinomies, tragedy, meanings and transforming significance of this momentous, infinitely selfless, heroic and ethically pure - but also terrible and painful - event in Poland's difficult history. The chapter titles signal problems for further study based on synthesis of to-date knowledge as well as the need for a fresh, more universal approach to the Warsaw Uprising issue on a national and, increasingly, European scale.".…
