Rarely are they all three~but Courier from Warsaw is exactly that kind of book." Jan Nowak, as a secret courier of the Polish underground movement during World War II, was at the center of the intrigue and controversy between the Allies and the Soviet Union over the Polish question. Nowak gives us an eyewitness report in a book which was published in Polish in London and reprinted illegally in Poland. After the appearance of Courier in Poland, the publisher and the printer were arrested and put on trial; in 1981 the book was awarded the PULS Prize for an exceptional work in historical writing and for its outstanding contribution to Polish letters. (PULS is a literary/social journal which appears in Poland outside the censor's reach; it is a forum free from political control.) Nowak combines elements of suspense and war adventures with his account of historical events. During the war years he made a record number of five secret trips back and forth between Warsaw, Stockholm, and London. As an emissary he talked with Churchill, Eden, and other Allied leaders in futile attempts to obtain their support for Poland against Stalin's designs of subjugation. During the sixty~three days of bitter street fighting in the Warsaw Rising, Nowak was in charge of radio broadcasts in English. His dramatic memoir is important now, in Brzezinski's words, "because it provides acute insight into the psychology and organization of the Polish resistance . This will to resist asserted itself in 1944 and again in 1980 . Political censorship could not prevent Courier from Warsaw from being a tremendous success in Poland.".…
