In August 1944, the Warsaw Uprising began. The locally assembled Polish army fought against well-equipped German occupiers for sixty-three days before surrendering. Twenty-two-year-old Stefania Englehardt was in the forefront of the Polish effort to reclaim the country. She worked as a medic, a grenade maker, arms procurer, messenger, and saboteur, all the while recording her impressions in a little red diary. This book immerses the reader in the day-to-day life of Stefania and her unit who fought with the Armia Krajowa (AK), Platoon II, Unit 1147-DB-3
