Anthony Kruszewski in Wartime Europe and Postwar America","description":"Beata Halicka's masterly narrated biography is the story of an extraordinary man and leading intellectual in the Polish-American community. Z. Anthony Kruszewski was first a Polish scout fighting in World War II against the Nazi occupiers, then Prisoner of War\/Displaced Person in Western Europe. He stranded as a penniless immigrant in post-war America and eventually became a world-renowned academic. Kruszewski's almost incredible life stands out from his entire generation. His story is a microcosm of the 20th-century history, covering various theatres and incorporating key events and individuals. Kruszewski walks a stage very few people have even stood on, both as an eye-witness at the centre of the Second World War, and later as vice-president of the Polish American Congress, and a professor and political scientist at world-class universities in the USA. Not only did he become a pioneer and a leading figure in Borderland Studies, but he is a borderlander in every sense of the word.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Beata Halicka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3506791834\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783506791832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill U Schoningh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 413\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs","brand":"Beata Halicka","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44138747920639,"sku":"9783506791832","price":113.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b10359a-4626-4534-9466-10d14ff40399.jpg?v=1687901265","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/borderlands-biography-beata-halicka-9783506791832","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
