Rising '44: The Battle for Warsaw (3 page)

I owe many thanks to many institutions and to many individuals. Among the institutions, I would single out the Karta Centre in Warsaw, the Polish Underground Study Trust, the Home Army Veterans Association, the Hoover Institution, the Roosevelt Library, the Public Record Office, the State Archives of the Russian Federation, the Wolfson College Library, and the British Academy. The latter generously awarded me a Small Research Grant.

Among the individuals, I must mention my chief researcher Roger Moorhouse, my special adviser, Mr Andrzej Suchcitz, and a long list of consultants, including Dr Andrzej Krzysztof Kunert, Dr Alison Millett, Mr Zbigniew Sta
czyk, Dr Krzysztof Szwagrzyk, Mgr Michaela Todorowa and Mr Zbigniew Siemaszko. Valuable assistance was also rendered by Professor Andrzej Ajnenkiel, Professor W. Bartoszewski, Gill Beeston, Katarzyna Benda, Anthony Beevor, Włodzimierz Bolecki, Krzysztof Bo
ejewicz, Alexander Boyd, Cathy Brocklehurst, Professor W. Brus, Tadeusz Filipkowski, Max Hastings, Professor Jerzy Holzer, Dr Polly Jones, Professor L. Kołakowski, Dr Maria Korzeniewicz, Glenda Lane, Bolesław Mazur, Jan Nowak-Jeziora
ski, Professor Krystyna Orzechowska-Juzwenko, Dr Z. Pełczy
ski, Michael Schmidt, Professor Tomasz Strzembosz, Luba Vinogradova, Ken Wilson, Wanda Wyporska, and Michał Zarzycki.

The number of people who kindly responded to requests for information, completed questionnaires, contributed their reminiscences, or otherwise engaged in correspondence, is almost too large to mention. Several in the meantime have passed on. But all have earned my sincere gratitude. Their contributions, great and small, have given the book a very special, and I would hope, an authentic flavour: Jerzy Adamski, Stanisław Aronson, Stanisław Bara
