The Presence of War
The following essay is a personal consideration of the eighty-sixth anniversary of the beginning of World War II. I am asking how post war anxiety influenced my academic work and discuss the issues that I addressed in my biography of Alexander Weissberg-Cybulski (1901-1964), a physicist, communist and businessman who wrote about his imprisonment in the Soviet Union (1937-1940). My concluding remarks touch on today’s dilemmas
Unconquerable Miłosz

Captive Mind, The ( M iłosz)
This entry on Czesław Miłosz and his The Captive Mind presents the life of the preeminent Polish poet and his most famous prose book, which was one of the most original anticommunist books written during Stalinism.
