II. Activist, Strategist

Jerzy Giedroyc

Joseph Czapski was the first of us from Kultura to meet James Burnham, on the occasion of a conference called by General de Gaulle in 1948. That meeting was the start of the friendship between James Burnham and Kultura [“the foremost Polish magazine in the world,” as Burnham later described it, published in exile in Paris —ed.]. In 1950 we published his book The Struggle for the World’, in 1953, Containment or Liberation?’, in 1958, The Managerial Revolution.
