Jerzy Borzecki has recently completed his postdoctoral studies in the History Department at Yale University. He is a sessional lecturer in the Department of Historical Studies at the University of Toronto at Mississauga.
“Borzecki brings tremendous new archival materials to bear on the
treaty reached at Riga—an important moment in the history of
European diplomacy and state-making following World War I. ”—Mark
L. von Hagen, Arizona State University; author of Soldiers in the
Proletarian Dictatorship: The Red Army and the Soviet Socialist
State
*Mark L. von Hagen*
"Jerzy Borzecki delves expertly into the Polish-Russian Borderlands
in the immediate post-World War I years—perhaps the most
fascinatingly complex place and moment in 20th century Europe. The
research is new and the amount of detail is stunning."—Marci Shore,
author of Caviar and Ashes
*Marci Shore*
“This book is a major contribution to the scholarly literature on
the Soviet Union. Despite a range of publications in Russian,
Polish, Ukrainian, and English, there has heretofore been no single
work that exploited all of the available sources, including
newly-available Russian archival sources. It is a scholarly work
with an original and important subject, treated with exemplary
research and balanced and convincing narrative analysis.”—Timothy
Snyder, author of The Reconstruction of Nations: Poland, Ukraine,
Lithuania, Belarus, 1569-1999
*Timothy Snyder*
"With subtlety, Borzecki conveys the ambivalence of the period and
foreshadows the diplomatic wrangling between the Communist and
non-Communist worlds that defined the Cold War. . . . Highly
recommended."—Choice
