Hugh Gibson, US Minister to Poland from 1919 to 1924, recorded his
involvement with the rocky first years of Polish statehood in this
collection of official dispatches and personal letters. This book
presents the writings of Hugh S. Gibson, who served from 1919 to
1924 as the first US Minister to the new Second Polish Republic.
Crucially involved with world-shaping events, Gibson faithfully
recorded his eyewitness impressions and interactions with the
nascent Polish state, bickering Allies, and increasingly
isolationist Americans. The selected material draws from both State
Department dispatches and personal letters, most of it appearing in
print for the first time. Editor Vivian Hux Reed, working with
experts M. B. B. Biskupski, Jochen Boehler, and Jan-Roman Potocki,
provides historical context through a comprehensive introduction
and series of annotations. Reminiscences by Gibson's late son
Michael Francis Gibson provide personal context. With a flair for
pertinent analysis, Gibson records the rocky first years of Polish
statehood. He advocated for American support of the young democracy
and emphasized to both Polish and US government officials the need
for a strong state to protect the rights of all Polish citizens.
His words are prophetic, accurately assessing the need for strong
state structures to protect all citizens and predicting the danger
posed especially to minority groups should such structures fail.

University. M. B. B. BISKUPSKI is professor of history, Central
Connectictut State University. JOCHEN BOEHLER is a research

Relations from Cambridge University.
