Book description
“This is an excellent book which thoroughly covers the title’s issues.”
Paul J. Best, Southern Connecticut State University, Professor Emeritus, President of the Carpathian Research Institute
“This book is the definitive monograph on the topic covered by its title. Prof. Moklak did a thorough, careful research at relevant Polish and other archival collections and created the most balanced, comprehensive, and complete work on the fate of the Lemko minority in interwar Poland. Every serious topical library or scholar of Polish-Ukrainian relations or ethnic minorities in interwar Poland should have this book.”
Jacek Lubecki, Georgia Southern University, Director of the Center for International Studies
