Birds of Prey is a microhistory of the Nazi occupation of Bia?owie?a Forest, Poland’s national park. The narrative stretches from G?ring’s palatial lifestyle to the common soldier on the ground killing Jews, partisans, and civilians. Based entirely on previously unpublished sources, the book is the synthesis of six areas of research: Hitler’s Luftwaffe, the hunt and environmental history, military geography, Colonialism and Nazi Lebensraum, the Holocaust, and the war in the East.
