Korbonski (1901-89) tells how he helped found the Polish Underground State during World War II, and along with his wife Zofia transmitted information on events in Poland to the government in exile in London. He also recounts his brief above-ground, post-war political career before fleeing Soviet suppression in 1947. The memoir has no index or bibliography. The Polish original, apparently never published, was translated by F. B. Czarnomski, and published by Macmillan in 1956 and in paper by Minerva in 1968.
