Opis: Armies in Exile The Polish Struggle for Nation - David R. Stefancic, D Stefancic

This book presents a new perspective on the Polish struggle for freedom and independence. It examines three historical periods -- the Napoleonic Wars, World War I, and World War II -- when Poles were forced to fight in other nations' armies to defend a Poland that seemed lost to history. Stefanic considers how Poland survived even though aggressive neighbors has eliminated it from the map. Stefancic's essays provide a general overview of each period and examines specific events. He addresses such questions as how the soldiers' maintained their national identity while serving in a foreign army and the ways in which they related to foreign cultures. This book provides a wealth of information on the fighters. -- Florence Waszkelewicz Polish American Journal 3/1/2006 A welcome and important complement to the existing scholarship on modern Polish national consciousness. -- Anita Shelton H-Net 8/1/06
