Information surrounding Katyn came to light with Russian perestroika, which made it possible to disclose a key document indicating the circumstances of the massacre. The 'suspension of judgement' policy of the British Government hid for more than half a century a deceitful diplomacy of Machiavellian proportions.Katyn 1940 draws on intelligence reports, previously unpublished documents, witness statements, memoranda and briefing papers of diplomats, MPs and civil servants of various echelons, who dealt with the Katyn massacre up to the present day to expose the true hypocrisy of the British and American attitude to the massacre.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Eugenia Maresch</b> is the author of <i>General Wladyslaw Sikorski, Poland's Wartime Leader</i>; <i>Intelligence Co-operation Between Great Britain and Poland in World War II</i>; and <i>Polish Forces in Defence of the British Isles 1939-1945</i>.
