“Alex Storozynski has just published “The Peasant Prince: Thaddeus Kosciuszko and the Age of Revolution,” a sweeping, colorful, and absorbing biography that should restore Kosciuszko to his proper place in history. President of the Kosciuszko Foundation, which promotes Polish-American educational exchanges, Storozynski is also a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist who knows how to tell a good story. In his account, Kosciuszko—as soldier in America and then a revolutionary in his homeland— exemplified some of the best ideals of his era. He also experienced some of its worst betrayals and disappointments. … Emancipation was ‘a controversial idea ahead of his time,’ Storozynski writes—just, as this stirring biography makes clear, like the man himself.”—Newsweek.com
