The book depicts the fate of the civilian population during the Warsaw Uprising. The author shows the wartime experience without cover; for her, the uprising was all about hunger, disease, pain and agonizing death. Nina Rydzewska, who herself spent World War II in Warsaw, from which she was evicted by the Nazis only after the fall of the uprising, captures the reality of those days in an uncompromising manner.
