The Polish Officer Paperback - 2001
by Alan Furst
In 1939, as the German army ravages his country, Captain Alexander de Milja joins the intelligence service of the Polish underground and undertakes many daring and defiant missions. "The Polish Officer" is Furst at his best: masterfully suspenseful, brilliantly atmospheric, and surprising to the last page.
Summary
From the jacket flap
September 1939. As Warsaw falls to Hitler's Wehrmacht, Captain Alexander de Milja is recruited by the intelligence service of the Polish underground. His mission: to transport the national gold reserve to safety, hidden on a refugee train to Bucharest. Then, in the back alleys and black-market bistros of Paris, in the tenements of Warsaw, with partizan guerrillas in the frozen forests of the Ukraine, and at Calais Harbor during an attack by British bombers, de Milja fights in the war of the shadows in a world without rules, a world of danger, treachery, and betrayal.
