Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Large-format hardcover, fully bilingual (Polish & English), 136 pages, copiously illustrated with black and white photos and facsimiles of documents, NOT ex-library. Limited signs of gentle wear, faint offset marks on pages facing the illustrations. Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards show short creases to lower outer corners, a touch of rubbing. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This richly illustrated biographical album, published under the auspices of the Sikorski Museum, serves as an authoritative visual and narrative record of the life and career of General Wladyslaw Sikorski. The work chronicles his entire public life, from his service in the Polish-Soviet War of 1920 to his opposition to the Sanation regime and his ultimate role as Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Government-in-Exile during World War II. It details his tireless efforts to reconstitute the Polish Armed Forces in France and later Britain, and his complex diplomatic navigation between the Western Allies, particularly Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union. Key events, such as the signing of the Sikorski-Mayski agreement and the subsequent crisis over the discovery of the Katyn massacre, are contextualized. Drawing extensively on the photographic and documentary archives of the Polish Institute, this book provides a definitive portrait of the man who embodied the Polish state's fight for survival, a story that culminates in his tragic and controversial death in the 1943 Gibraltar air crash. -- "This album is a tribute to the memory of General Wladyslaw Sikorski, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth - a leading statesman and an outstanding soldier in the service of his country and the cause of freedom." -- Contents: Introduction; In France 1939-1940; In Alliance with Great Britain; Activities as Prime Minister; Out of Russia; In Search of American Support; Concern for the Future of Europe; The Final Journey; Gibraltar 4 July 1943; Order of the White Eagle; Index of Names.
