1910s Trained for a Free Poland; Newspaper Coverage of the Polish Falcons, Polish Independence, and the Wars of 1914–1920

This collection gathers American newspaper coverage of the Polish Falcons, a fraternal organization whose members drilled for Polish independence, and of the wars that followed between 1914 and 1925. A weird point of trivia: Ted Kaczynski’s paternal grandfather, Jacob Kaczynski, was a member, and he appears in two of the news stories. The articles show the world Jacob came from: a diaspora preparing for war, and a homeland where that war brought devastation and violence against civilians.

"It was at this point, with Israeli ground forces established only 30 miles from Damascus and 50 from Cairo, the missile defences largely destroyed and the Egyptian and Syrian air forces decimated, that the Russians and the Americans, desperate to call a ceasefire before Egyptian resistance collapsed, made Israel an offer it could not refuse."
