Freedom Value and Price

Wieslaw Jozef Sporyszkiewicz: The Dreamer Political Prisoner in Communist Poland

This fascinating life story of Wieslaw Jozef Sporyszkiewicz takes us to Poland, the United States of America, and Great Britain, from struggles to triumphs, from dreams of freedom to torture, through building positive societies and helping others, eventually dying early and unexpectedly at the age of 56 from controversial reasons.

Written by the Sporyszkiewicz family and Myra Houser, associate professor of history at Ouachita Baptist University in Arkansas, USA. She studies transnational movements for social justice, particularly within a Cold War context. Much of her work focuses on understanding connections between southern Africa and the world.
