	Sarmatian Review XIX.1: Thaddeus Kosciuszko
		Kosciuszko was an early exponent of the 'take the high ground' maxim, for artillery in the late eighteenth century had already become a potent weapon.
		Kosciuszko's demonstration of the importance of good military engineering was so impressed upon the Americans that they made engineering a centerpiece of military education at the United States Military Academy at West Point.
		The Kosciuszko Squadron was key in stopping the Cossack General Budyonny's Konarmya at Lwów in 1920, preventing its juncture with northern army of Tukhachevsky, enabling Pisudski's victory east of the Vistula.

		It focuses mainly on Kosciuszko's sojourn in America while only about forty pages are devoted to his youth, the Insurrection, and the post-American activities in Western Europe.

		Unfortunately, the book has no maps or battle diagrams which would better illustrate Kosciuszko's activities, but his name will always be associated with Fort Ticonderoga, the Battle of Saratoga (some historians consider it the turning point in the American Revolution), and with the fortress at West Point.

	The Unusual Story of Thaddeus Kosciusko
		According to John Quincy Adams, Thaddeus, sensing the difficulties inherent in his socially-inferior position, persuaded Ludvika to elope with him to the American colonies whose "shot heard round the world" had fired the enthusiasm of the young idealist.
		Adams writes that the romantic couple was pursued, overtaken and separated for many long years by the interposition of parental authority, the ardent suitor being severely beaten by the father's retainers.
		The most fanciful version is Adams' that, years later, Thaddeus and Ludvika were reunited, married and had a daughter of their own.
