The first authoritative comprehensive historical dictionary of Poland in English, this volume is destined to become the standard work.
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.
"In many years of teaching Polish history, I have always been
struck by the lack of information, and sometimes by the
misinformation that can be found on Polish history in standard
reference works. This is remedied at last in the Historical
Dictionary. Its high standard will serve as a model for future
reference works on Polish history."-Anna M. Cienciala, Professor of
History University of Kansas
"There is a particular need for a basic reference work on Polish
history in the English language. Professor Lerski's Historical
Dictionary of Poland will satisfy this need for many years to
come."- Maciej Siekierski, Ph.D., curator Hoover Institution,
Stanford University
