Honouring a deathbed pledge to his uncle, Michael Moran set out to travel the length and breadth of Poland in order to get an up-close perspective of the country. In this poignant and insightful account, he gives an insider's view of a country set on a path of wrenching change while simultaneously confronting ghosts from the wartime and communist past.
