Jennifer Ellis

From PILSUDSKI, 1941 by Aleksandra Piłsudska

PREFACE

I have written this book not for Poles, who know the history of their country, but especially for foreigners, giving them the fragments of my personal recollections against an historical background. The work was rather difficult because I had left many of my books and documents in Poland. The conditions under which I wrote this book, in collaboration with Mrs. Jennifer Ellis, were also difficult. I know no English, Mrs. Ellis no Polish. I had to tell her my story in French, she wrote it in English, and then every chapter had to be read to me in Polish so that I could judge it and make final suggestions.

I have tried to draw both the faults and good qualities of my country and its people and I think that English and American people will be able to find some characteristics of ours which are common also to themselves. I shall be very happy if this book can contribute a little towards the mutual understanding of our nations.
