After the uprising of 1944, the city once called the Paris of the North was a sea of rubble, yet the decision to rebuild came almost at once. The Old Town was reconstructed, but the rest of Warsaw was to become an ideal modern metropolis. The book follows the architects of the Capital Reconstruction Office, who, building the city of their dreams, also helped build a totalitarian state.
