"The Crime of Katyn: Facts and Documents" 5th edition. Polish Cultural Foundation, London 1989. ISBN 0 85065 190 5. The London Poles well presented account that helped keep the matter alive for so long in the face of so much opposition to the truth coming out.
"Death in the Forest - the story of the Katyn Forest Massacre", J K Zawodny, Macmillan, 1971, Copyright 1962 by University of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, Indiana. sbn Boards: 333 12124 4. A very complete account of the Katyn massacre, one of the best of the early works on Katyn, a first class detailed account.
"The Katyn Wood Murders", Joseph Mackiewicz, World Affairs Book Club, Member's Edition. London 1951? One of the early works on Katyn, very well written and has stood the test of time as futher information becomes available.
"The murderers of Katyn", Vladimir Abarinov, Hippocrene Books Inc, New York 1993. ISBN 9 7818 0032 3. This is an updated pretty accurate translation of "Katyn Labyrinth", the first Russian language book on Katyn to be written and published in Russia in Russian. The author has said that he does not know why he was given access to the information, or allowed to write the book.
"Katyn Killings in the record" John H Lauck. The Kingston Press, Inc PO Box 2759, Clifton NJ 07015, USA ISBN 0 940670 30 5. For me the validity and accuracy of this otherwise competently constructed book is seriously called into question by the author's statement [p 131] that "Stalin is the literal translation of the name Dzhugashvili from Georgian into Russian." Otherwise, recalling that this work was published before the Soviet admissions relating to Katyn, it is an adequate record of the knowledge of this matter in 1988.
"The massacre at Katyn", Number 92 of "After the Battle", a quarterly magazine published by Battle of Britain Prints International Ltd, Church House, Church Street, London E15 3JA 1996. Katyn is the major theme for this issue with a very well researched and written article by Karle Margry extensively supported by many first class photos and illustrations.
"The Katyn Massacre; an assessment of its significance as a public and historical issue in the United States and Great Britain, 1940-1993", Louis Robert Coatney, 1993. This is a thesis on Katyn that is well worth reading. There are other thesis on Katyn issues that I know of, but this is the only one I have the URL for.
"Katyn: an interpretation of aerial photographs considered with facts and documents." Waclaw Godziemba-Maliszewski, Polskie Towarzystwo Geograficzne, Klub Teledetekcji Srodowiska ul. Krakwskie Predmiescie 30, 00-927, Warszawa 1995 ISN 0071 8076.

"The KGB Solution at Katyn", by Maurice Shainberg, Lincoln Springs Press, 1992.
"Katyn. The untold story of Stalin's Polish Massacre", Allen Paul, Charles Scribner's Sons, Macmillan Publishing Company, 866 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10022, 1991, ISBN 0 684 19215 2. While Katyn is hardly an untold story, Paul's treatment brings a vibrant human face to the event. The Soviets/Russian and their Western sycophants have struggled for so long with their ludicrous denials of Soviet culpability for this crime, and so much has been written which is merely a rehash of the know facts, that it makes refreshing reading to find some new material well presented in a book on this subject that fellow-travellers will prefer to ignore.
"Katyn. Documents of Genocide". Documents and Materials from Soviet archives turned over to Poland on October 14, W. Materski ed., 1992.
