Description ▲
This book is a monographic study of the life of Kazimierz Pu?aski (1745-1779), a Polish nobleman who died fighting for American independence at the siege of Savannah in October 1779. This book covers the life of Kazimierz Pu?aski from beginning to end, including his participation in the Bar Confederation (1768-1772), his exile in France and attempt to fight on the Balkan Peninsula (1772-1775), and in the American War of Independence in the United States (1777-1779), as commander of the American cavalry and Pulaski's Legion. There is also a discussion of whether Pu?aski suffered from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This book focuses mainly on the military aspects of Kazimierz Pu?aski's career and his contributions to the cultures of the United States and Poland.
