The Peasant Prince: Thaddeus Kosciuszko and the Age of Revolution by award-winning journalist Alex Storożynski has been published in a Polish translation.

The book by the head of the Kosciuszko Foundation in New York was launched in the United States in 2009 and has been hailed as one of the most successful biographies of the hero of Polish and American independence.

The Publishers Weekly wrote after the book’s premiere that “Storozynski pulls military strategist and engineer Thaddeus Kosciuszko back from the brink of obscurity by including almost every documented detail to create the first comprehensive look at a man who once famously symbolized rebellion. […] Readers of military and American history should take note: the minute details will enthrall devotees. Casual readers will benefit from Storozynski's expert crafting of a readable and fact-filled story that pulls readers into the immediacy of the revolutionary era's partisan and financial troubles.”

The Polish edition of the book was published by WAB Publishers, in a translation by Jarosław Mikos.

Alex Storozynski is a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, a former member of the New York Daily News editorial board and former city editor of the New York Sun.
