About this product
Product Information
Ludwik Rajchman, born in Poland in 1881, was an exponent of humanitarian intervention and a defender of colonized people, as adept in secret diplomacy as in organizing vast anti-epidemic campaigns. He inspired the creation of WHO and UNICEF, of which he was the first chairman. Progressive, but opposed to all dogmas, he was forced by McCarthyism to flee the United States and soon became an object of suspicion in the Soviet bloc, finding himself estranged from his beloved Poland. As well as re-telling the story of Rajchman's life, the author, who is Rajchman's great-granddaughter, uses family archives and documentary sources to provide glimpses of the major events that shaped the twentieth century.Product Identifiers
