Jozef GarlinskiJozef Garlinski (1913-2005) was a preeminent author, historian and chronicler of World War II, and particularly of Poland's less well-known role as one of the Western Allies. On many topics his work was seminal, laying the foundation for later researh and histories. A member of the Polish underground during the war, Garlinski was arrested by the Germans and sent to Auschwitz. He survived, and after the war Garlinski settled in England. Retiring from a successful business career, Garlinski obtained his Ph.D. from the London School of Economics. His dissertation topic, the resistance movements at Auschwitz, became the book Fighting Auschwitz. Garlinski was prominent in the Polish emigre community in the UK, and continued as an active author and speaker throughout the remainder of his life. Read More Read Less
