The first half of the book describes the Polish armed forces from the reformation of Poland after WWI up to the outbreak of WWII. The book describes in detail the difficulties faced by the armed forces, mainly the army, in establishing and maintaining a viable armed force in the face of two potential enemies, Germany and the Soviet Union.
The second half of the book examines the actual September campaign itself. It points out that due to pressure from her allies, Poland had not fully mobilized her armed forces when the Germans attacked. This meant that the Polish army was more outnumbered than even the raw imbalance in the number of divisions suggests.
