Its core are the insurgents' own reminiscences and reflections, portraying life during those tragic and unforgotten 66 days. All described events are true and were personally experienced by their authors which gives them testimonial rank. Most are also supplemented by their authors' personal comments. Most of the authors distinguished themselves during the Uprising, many were decorated with Poland's highest military order, the Virtuti Militari, and Cross of Valor. Main texts are followed by the insurgent authors' biograms. 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.".
