Poland

2002 reissue of the ex-Megadeth guitarist's 1990 solo debut, updated with two songs performed by Chris' band OHM. Bonus Tracks are '30 Day Due' & 'The Heavy Guitar Jam'. Remixed & Remastered. Return To Metalopolis 2002 is stunning example of heavy metal guitar instrumental work by ex-Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland, along with his brother, drummer Mark Poland. Poland, who played guitar on the Megadeth albums "Killing Is My Business…" and "Peace Sells…", recorded these tracks in 1989-90 and played all bass and guitar parts himself. Return To Metalopolis 2002 features the crunch you'd expect from Poland, especially on tracks such as "Club Ded", "The Fall Of Babylon" and the heavy title cut.

This work presents the story of the Kosciuszko Squadron, a small group of American flyers that formed without the support of the State Department and the American Expeditionary Force in Europe, to defend Poland from the Bolshevik armies and to prevent the communist revolution in Russia from uniting with a Germany frustrated by provisions of the Treaty of Versaille.
The book covers the events leading up to the formation of the squadron and the first efforts to enlist American military help for Poland in 1918. It explores why that small group of Americans felt compelled to fight for Poland and what they knew about who and what they were fighting for and against, and discusses the people, events, and issues that figured prominently in the war. The Squadron was named, of course, in honor of Tadeusz Kosciuszko, who famously came from Poland in 1776 to join the Colonial forces fighting the War of Independence from Britain.
