GEORGE J. LERSKI, who died in 1992, was Professor of European History at the University of San Francisco and was the author of several books, including Poland's Secret Envoy, `1939-1945 (1988) and Jewish-Polish Coexistence, 1772-1939: A Topical Bibliography (Greenwood, 1986). An active member of the Polish Resistance, he was a cofounder of the Polish Freedom Movement Independence and Democracy, and in 1993 was posthumously bestowed the Polonia Restituta with Commander's Cross and Star, one of Poland's highest honors.
?The Lerskis present nearly 3,000 citations that treat relations
between the Jewish and Polish peoples during the period from the
first partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1772) until
the outbreak of WW II. Their book is broader in scope than the
other major bibliographies in this field.... Books, brochures,
pamphlets, and articles in learned journals are included.
Annotations are omitted to allow a greater number of entries.
Coverage is comprehensive; duplicate entries and cross-references
are omitted. The chapter on town communities and shtetls, which
constitutes a fifth of the book, deserves special mention for its
coverage of memorial books.... Graduate students and faculty will
