HI, I WANT TO INVITE ALL OF YOU TO VISIT AND HAVE YOUR SAY IN THE DISCUSSION THAT I STARTED ON FACEBOOK. MY GROUP HAS THE SAME NAME AS THIS POST AND THE TEXT BELOW WILL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING ABOUT ITS CONTENTS.
FOR YOUR FREEDOM AND OURS / QUESTION OF HONOR / POLES IN WWII
THIS GROUP IS DEDICATED TO THE POLISH HISTORY IN GENERAL. I HAVE CHOSEN TO USE Lynne Olson'S and
Stanley Cloud'S BOOKS AS A BACKGROUND FOR A BROADER DISCUSSION BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT, WHILE FOCUSING ON SPECIFIC CHARACTERS AND EVENTS, THE BOOK ALSO TELL THE STORY COMPLETELY NEGLECTED BY THE WESTERN HISTORIANS AND THEREFORE UNKNOWN TO THE WESTERN PUBLIC. OBVIOUSLY THERE WERE MANY OTHER EVENTS IN THE HISTORY OF WWI ABOUT WHICH LITTLE ARE KNOWN, BUT ONLY FEW OF THEM HAD SIMILAR INFLUENCE ON THE OUTCOME OF THIS EPIC STRUGGLE. WE ARE VERY INTERESTED IN THE VIEWS OF NONE- POLISH. WE WOULD LIKE TO USE THIS GROUP TO SEE OURSELVES THROUGH THE EYES OF OTHERS. WE WANT TO GIVE THE PEOPLE WHOSE FAITH AND HEROISM WAS FOR SO LONG OVERLOOKED THE RECOGNITION THEY DESERVE. YET, THE MOST IMPORTANT FOR US IS TO HAVE A FRANK BUT FAIR EXCHANGE OF IDEAS.
