After 123 year of being shackled under foreign domination, with even her language banned, Poland is reborn into a dangerous and chaotic world, trying to unify three different systems in a devastated land while fighting five wars with her neighbours, including the Russian Bolsheviks under Lenin and Trotsky. A one-handed, one-footed, one-eyed British war hero, Captain Adrian Carlton de Wiart, is sent on a mission to find out more about the new country, and meet the Polish strong man, Pilsudski, determined to lead his country through its pangs of re-birth. A task he has been preparing for his whole life.
