By combining historical and political analysis with a sophisticated sociological approach, Jane Gross offers a new itnerpretations of the German occupation of Poland during World War II. Based on his hypothesis that a society cannot be destroyed by coercion short of the physical annihilation of its members, his work has a twofold aim; to examine the model of German occupation in theory and in practice, and to identify the patterns of collective behavior that emerged among the Polish people in response to the social control exercised over them. The author argues taht when an occupier provdies no institutions through which a lcoal population can at least minimally satisfy its social needs, the subjugated populace builds substituted institutions on the remnants of previous forms of its collective life. These substitutes constitute the society's self-defense, to which the occupier must in some way adjust if its goals of manipulation and exploitation are to be achieved. Professor Gross points out numerous ways in which the Poles under the General gouvernement circumvented the goals and authority of the German occupiers. Most significant was the emergence of the Polish underground, which took on the leadership, social welfare, political, and financial functions of an independent state. This phenomenon, he concludes, shows that resistance should not be conceived merely as a military movement but rather as a complex social phenomenon. Jan Tomasz Gross is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Yale University. Originally published in 1979.

Translated by Cynthia Klohr After crushing the Polish Uprising in 1863–1864,Russia established a new system of administration and control. Imperial Russian Rule in the Kingdom of Poland, 1864–1915 investigates in detail the imperial bureaucracy’s highly variable relationship with Polish society over the next half century. It portrays the personnel and policies of Russian domination and describes the numerous layers of conflict and cooperation between the Tsarist officialdom and the local population. Presenting case studies of both modes of conflict and cooperation, Malte Rolf replaces the old, unambiguous “freedom-loving Poles vs. oppressive Russians” narrative with a more nuanced account and does justice to the complexity and diversity of encounters among Poles, Jews, and Russians in this contested geopolitical space. At the same time, he highlights the process of “provincializing the center,” the process by which the erosion of imperial rule in the Polish Kingdom facilitated the demise of the Romanov dynasty itself.

Not illustrated. 1919 edition. Excerpt: ...size. Whereas a network of lines reach the Russian frontier on the German side, there are scarcely any railways at all on the Russian side, except the two main routes at Alexandrovo and Bendzin. No district has suffered more from this neglect than the Provinces of Plock and Lomza, just south of East Prussia, which are, as a result, among the most remote and isolated regions of Europe. The excellent canal system of Poland has also been neglected. The abolition of the Bank of Poland and the attempts, largely successful, to make Polish credit completely dependent on Petrograd, have been a great cause of weakness to Polish industry. Moreover, the great co-operative movement in Prussian Poland, though it has been imitated in the Kingdom, has not been so successful, owing to the backwardness in which the peasant is kept by contact with a less progressive civilization and with the weaker Russian system of education, especially deficient on the technical side. Just as contact and competition with Germans has stimulated and educated the Polish peasant, so the presence of the Russian element--and Russia always sent a very low type of official to Poland--has retarded and demoralized him. Further, the bulk of the retail trade of Russian Poland is in the hands of the Jewish population, which is too large here to be driven out by Polish competition, as it has been in Poznania. Lastly, there has been a large immigration of Germans into Russian Poland, a movement which the Russian Government has not opposed. It is only lately that German workmen have been superseded by Poles in the Lodz area, and the great industry is largely capitalized by Germans, so much so that Prussia would find an easier task in ruling the Kingdom of Poland than she has had in...

In 1960, author Larry Lee knew he needed to make a decision. A high school student in Kansas City, he had a girlfriend and some great buddies. He wasnt ready to head to college and had no idea what he wanted to do in life. With the political climate at the time, he realized he must join the service or be drafted. Between the Poles shares a journal of the who, what, when, why, and what-for epilogue of his four adventurous years in the US Navy. It was during this time he was transformed from a kid into a hard-working, tax-paying young adult. The story stems from keeping a daily log of his experiences in and with Operation Deepfreeze 63 in Antarctica aboard the USS Staten Island (AGB-5). Written through a young sailors eyes, this fun, lighthearted story describes Lees adventures on an icebreaker in the Navy, sailing between Seattle, Antarctica, and the Arctic Circle where he traveled tens of thousands of miles, endured good times and bad times, and created lifelong friendships.
