In the 1990's Gord and his wife went to Poland three times to teach English and History in Warsaw. The Strange Odyssey of Poland's National Treasures, 1939-1961 is his first book.
"...it is a story of extraordinary private heroism, loyalty,
deception, heartbreak, and betrayal." - Quill and Quire, April
2005
(Gordon Swoger) retains the suspence, explains the riddles of
Polish history, describes the valuable objects and the people who
participated in this unusual enterprise. Swoger's Strange Odyssey
belongs to a growing series of books published by non-Polish
scholars and wrtiers who find and present a history of Poland as a
fascinating topic, worth international attention and further
studies."
