I am currently trying to build a Polish Home army list, and I am wondering what books would you recommend for information on ww2 partisans as a whole (from any European front)?
Bonus points if it is available on the kindle

You need books or visuals? There are several documentaries on Youtube about Sydir Kovpak's partisans, which were the largest and most effective partisan formation in the .

Osprey publish some titles that may be helpful:
Campaign series 205 'Warsaw 1944' - specifically deals with the uprising in 1944, but includes useful info (such as the order of battle) and photos on the Polish Home Army.
Men at Arms series 142 'Partisan Warfare 1941-45' - focuses more on uniforms and equipment; deals with partisans in countries like Poland and Yugoslavia.
Men at Arms series 169 'Resistance Warfare 1940-45' - focuses on Western Europe, so probably less useful.
Check out the Osprey Publishing site - they are quite reliable to order from.

I might start a FFI list, so that would be fine.
