From the bestselling author of "Beyond the Tracks" comes another sweeping WWII tale...

Warsaw, 1939
We mustn't let darkness win.

Natan Borkowski has it all. In line to take over the successful family business, his future is set.

Julia Horowitz lives in poverty. The daughter of a shoemaker, she dreams of a different life—a different world.

Everything changes when Hitler’s armies invade Poland. Natan’s future is ripped away by the flick of a switch of a Luftwaffe pilot. When the smoke clears, Julia and her family find themselves locked within the walls of the newly-formed Jewish ghetto.

On opposite sides of the wall, Natan and Julia’s lives are not so different anymore. As the Nazis unleash a reign of hunger, terror, and death across the city, they must now decide what’s more terrifying:

To die on their knees, or go down fighting?

Based on true events, Warsaw Fury is a story of love, courage, and resilience in the face of unimaginable evil.

Michael Reit expertly takes readers deep into the Warsaw Uprising and the resistance movement in Poland during the harrowing years of Nazi invasion and occupation. Filled with heart-stopping suspense, tender moments, and heartbreaking ordeals, Warsaw Fury is one I couldn’t put down.” — Alexa Kang, USA Today bestselling author of the Shanghai Story trilogy.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Michael Reit is truly a refreshing new voice in WW2 Historical Fiction! The tale of Polish resistance – a topic insufficiently explored – had me hungrily turning pages. I followed Natan and Julia’s adventures with breathless anticipation to the very end. Reit is definitely an author to watch!” – Roberta Kagan, USA Today Bestselling Author of WW2 Historical Fiction

I have read many stories about Nazi Germany. This is the first in-depth story I have read about the Polish resistance. I am in awe of the many dangers they went through to save their city and country. I would recommend this book to all, but especially to WWII buffs like me.

Good book, great characters, very interesting historical information

I love to read WW2 historical fiction books, and this author’s first book, Beyond The Tracks, is actually my favorite book that I’ve read. I know this author can do amazing work! This book was good! It just was not as amazing as his first book, in my opinion. However, don’t let that deter you! It’s enjoyable, entertaining, and a very valuable book to read! He writes about a little known but significant historical event, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. It’s very interesting. As someone who has read many books on WW2, this book surprised me by talking about things I had never even heard of. I found myself intrigued and thinking these things couldn’t have happened, but I did research and it is all based on real events and accurately told.
I appreciated and enjoyed the clean romance story woven through the book (with no sex scenes so many other books needlessly include). I will say there were some curse words though.
But all in all, an inspiring, interesting and informative historical fiction book to enjoy! It is worth the read! You’ll fall in love with the characters. They are strong, courageous, inspiring, and relatable.
I look forward to this author’s next book for my next read. The sequel to Beyond The Tracks was just published.

I learned much about what the Poles had to survive here. I had serious emotional events reading this book as I've had with all your books, but I honestly had no idea how bad it was in Warsaw because although we studied WWII in various historical classes, Poland's trials and tribulations were seldom brought to the forefront. Thank you again for educating me with this well written story!!

Compelling story, fascinating history, lackluster writing

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2022

I really enjoy historical fiction and I have a personal connection with this story which made it deeply meaningful for me. I zipped through the book, really enjoying it. It has also been helpful to psychologically connect to the fighters and civilians in the Ukraine, who are effectively reliving history as Russian forces mercilessly pummel the country and commit brutal atrocities.

However, the writing itself is lackluster, peppered with cliches and wrote phrases (e.g., "his heart stopped", "her blood ran cold", "his blood boiled", "she stopped in her tracks") that diminish the reading experience. This book really could have benefitted from a good editor, but perhaps there was pressure to get this out quickly and/ or there was a lack of funds for a more comprehensive rewrite. This story would be good for streaming services, so perhaps something is in the works....?

I recommend this book for those interested in WWII and / or the current situation in the Ukraine.

A beautifully written book that tells the amazing story of the proud people of Warsaw, Poland. These brave men and women fought with Valor under unbelievable circumstances with little in the way of armaments, food, water, and medical care. Against all odds, these brave people used their wits to outfox the heavily armed Germans. Their were so many, well- fed and rested bigots who masterminded the most evil, sinister attempt at race annihilation ever known to mankind. All because they were indoctrinated by a narcissistic pig who had an inferiority complex. I mean really, he actually thought he could create a so called 'master race' of which Hitler himself had no characteristics with! But what could be said of his followers? Gullible, certainly, but to blindly follow a man that has a 'God comlex' and actually perform atrocities to any race, color, creed, ethnicity or religious background that the Germans felt were unworthy!!??? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

A history lesson as to what can be accomplished even under the most tyrannical conditions.

Reviewed in Canada on February 27, 2022

There are two things I look for in a book. The first is that they are historical fictions. I love history and there is no better way to learn than through a well researched fictionalized account. The second attraction falls under the category, 'The Triumph of Human Spirit'. This book accomplished both of those needs in spades. Many thanks to the author.

Moving story of the bravery of the people of Warsaw

Another brilliantly written book by Michael Reit. This novel tells the story of the Polish people who fought in the streets of Warsaw against the invasion of the German forces. After walling up thousands of Jewish people in the ghetto, they were soon forcibly removed and sent to Treblinka. Some were just removed and killed on the streets. Eventually the Polish people who lived in the city outside of the ghetto walls saw their city being destroyed by the Germans and decided they had to act and began waging a guerilla type war in the hopes of getting their oppressors to leave. A story of fierce hatred of the Germans, fighting for survival and somewhere in all that misery love blooms. A story that is not usually widely known of how the Polish people of Warsaw fought back against tyranny.

Another brilliant piece by Michael!

When I was first read Warsaw Fury's summary, I was skeptical of the plot also taking place during WW2. After Michael Reit's acclaimed debut book Beyond the Tracks, I thought that the quality of his 2nd book would be marginal if he developed his new book during WW2 as well. Oh boy did he prove me wrong. Not only did Michael delivered an action-packed story, he (once again) brought light to some of the lesser known heroes of the Polish resistance, all while being written in the enjoyable style that characterized him from his first book.

There is never a single dull moment through the book because the protagonist are constantly engaging with novel and (sometimes) life threatening situations (that is war after all) so you are constantly feeling the need to keep on reading what is going to happen next.

Since the book takes place during WW2, mandatory themes such as death, hopelessness, and despair were inevitably going to be touched. However, in spite of these dark themes, Warsaw Fury inspire us to keep going and not fall into dispair through the heroic actions of the protagonist.

While the protagonists have their motivations clearly defined in the first chapters of the book, they sometimes behaved in a superhuman way, which I personally felt that made them less relatable.

While Warsaw Fury departs considerably from Beyond the track in its genre, it nevertheless manages to instill the same feelings of joy, grief, anger, and hope that are ever-present in the book. All in all, Warsaw Fury is an excellent addition to Michael Reit's collection and one that everyone should read!

This book takes you into the heart of Polish Resistance. As an avid reader of war books, I didn’t know anything about the Polish people’s struggles with the Natzi’s. I loved the book and learned a lot. Highly recommended this well written book.

Most WW2 stories talk about the captured Jews and rarely about the resistance. This book tells an important story of bravery, love and comradeship.
I particularly like that one of the main fighters is a woman. There were many brave women who truly impacted on the war that are unsung heroes.
Overall this was a great book although I’m not sure the love story was needed.
