The Eagle Unbowed

Kochanski's 2012 book The Eagle Unbowed received uniformly good reviews from the community of historians, as shown in the Harvard University Press selection of contributions from reviewers associated with the leading American magazines. The Books and Arts review in The Economist noted that Kochanski's own family history is closely connected with the political, military, and diplomatic history of Poland at war and therefore their own experiences also dot the pages of her monograph. Kochanski brings back the final humiliation of Britain’s victory parade in 1946, when the organisers invited Fijians and Mexicans to participate, but not the Poles who fought along with them.
