Acknowledgments

This book was made possible with the help of several people. I would like to express my admiration for my dissertation advisor at the University of Michigan, Richard Abel, and extend my deepest gratitude to him and to Hubert Cohen, Marek Haltof, Piotr Michalowski, and Charles O’Brien for their expert advice at various stages of this project. I want to thank series editor John Bukowczyk of Wayne State University as well as Gillian Berchowitz and Rick Huard of Ohio University Press for their skillful and patient editing of the manuscript. I am grateful to staff members of the Filmoteka Narodowa, Biblioteka Narodowa, and Archiwum Akt Nowych in Warsaw for their help in locating materials and illustrations. I appreciate everything that you have done to cultivate my hope for this project.

I would like to thank my family and friends for their encouragement, optimism, kindness, and generosity. Above all, my friends in Warsaw have made my research trips unforgettable. Thank you.

Finally, I would like to dedicate this book to my nephew, William Skaff, for reminding me that words are precious.
