#AgentkaZo, officially published in Poland today! 🇵🇱🇬🇧🥂

Still pinching myself after being awarded the Polish Foreign Ministry’s Best History book for 2024/25 by Polish deputy PM & Foreign Minister @radeksikorski , for my book #AgentZo, now published in Poland as #AgentkaZo…

Tonight I am a very happy author…
I have just found #AgentkaZo, my biography of inspirational resistance fighter #ElżbietaZawacka, in the bookshops of her home town: #Toruń.
My 6-city Polish tour starts tomorrow!

Paying my respects at the grave of the teacher, soldier, historian General Professor Elżbieta Zawacka, aka Zo, this morning at St George’s cemetery, Toruń.
White and red flowers, the colours of Poland.

To był dla mnie wielki zaszczyt móc badać i pisać o generał Elżbietie Zawackiej, ps. „Zo”, i nie mogę się doczekać powrotu do Polski, aby opowiedzieć jej historię!
