13/14 My close colleagues tend to think that "Sketches from a Secret War: A Polish Artist's Mission to Liberate Soviet Ukraine" is my best book. It deals with the Polish-Soviet contest over Ukraine in the 1920s and 1930s.

11/14 Of my books on Ukraine, "The Red Prince: The Secret Lives of a Habsburg Archduke," is perhaps the gentlest read. Its subject is an Austrian prince who chooses Ukrainian identity, aims at one time for a Ukrainian throne, and dies under interrogation by the KGB.
