Issued without a dust jacket. -- "The Polish frontiers did not become a 'question' until September 17, 1939 and the occupation of what was then Eastern Poland by the Soviet troops. Owing to the ambiguous phrasing of the Anglo-Polish Agreement of August 1939 and statements made in the British Parliament which indirectly questioned the correctness of the pre-World War II Polish Eastern Boundary, the entire issue acquired rapidly a highly controversial character. After the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June, 1941 the authorities of the latter country made it clear that they expected the restoration of their territories to the pre-invasion status which included that portion of Poland incorporated within the Soviet Union on and after September 17, 1939. In the course of time, as the analysis of the editorials will confirm, the British and then Americans were ever more inclined to accept the Soviet contentions. On the other hand, the Polish émigrés in London, for a variety of reasons, insisted on the inviolability of the Polish pre-World War II boundaries and refused to enter into any specific commitments with the Soviet Government. The Sikorski-Maisky Agreement concluded in July, 1941 was typical in this respect. It ignored the most crucial aspects of the dispute and accomplished little beyond the restoration of diplomatic relations between the Polish émigré government and the Soviet Union. Terms like "Curzon Line," Riga Treaty or Bug River continued to be a common currency of inter-Allied consultations and press editorials until late 1944 when the attention shifted to other aspects of the Polish issue. The essay is concerned with the analysis of the wartime evolution in the attitudes of American and British opinion elites (1939-1944) toward the diplomatic events affecting the Polish frontiers." -- Contents: Foreword; Introduction; 1.
