Book Synopsis
Looks at the interplay between the established Polish community and the refugee community. This book presents a tale of Polish Americans and Polish refugees who, like postwar Polish exile communities all over the world, worked out their own ways to implement the mission's main goals.

Trade Review
“(The Exile Mission) makes it clear that Polonia is far from being a homogeneous group, and instead is quite diverse and complex. How it became so, during the terribly tragic conflicts and upheavals within our civilization between 1939 and 1956, is the focus of this study.” * The Polish Review *
“Jarosyńska-Kirchmann…has produced a solid analysis of the often contentious argument about ethnicity and obligation toward the homeland engendered by the infusion of political refugees into an increasingly Americanized Polonia. Her work is richly detailed with interviews, letters, journals, and a plethora of unpublished materials.…an outstanding contribution to our knowledge of this period in American ethnic history.” * American Communist History *
