Defeat in Victory Smears Polish Betrayal and Soviet Pressure
The article, part of a series on Defeat in Victory by Jan Ciachanowski, recalls July 5 1943 dispatches after General Sikorski died in a Gibraltar crash and details Polish leadership, wartime diplomacy, and Western appeasement with Britain and the United States toward Soviet Russia. It notes Harriman’s likely appointment as ambassador and discusses Polish cabinet unity under Mikolajczyk, with focus on Soviet Polish tensions and stalled military materiel support.
