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 a Prisoner of War Displaced Person in Western Europe. He was 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 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.
