Jim Luce’s fascination with Poland began with a pivotal journey in 1980, when he first visited Warsaw just before the Soviet invasion that would reshape the nation’s destiny. Walking through the meticulously reconstructed cobblestone streets of the Old Town—painstakingly rebuilt from rubble after World War II—he was captivated by the resilience and determination of the Polish people to preserve their cultural heritage against overwhelming odds. This initial encounter sparked a decades-long engagement with Poland and the Polish-American community, resulting in a collection of writings that span tourism, politics, military affairs, and personal profiles. From exploring the medieval charm of Cracow to analyzing contemporary defense strategies, Luce’s work captures both the historical weight and modern vitality of a nation that has repeatedly risen from adversity.
