[edit] Life
Born in Tsarist Russia, Dziewanowski grew up in interwar Poland and studied at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków.
During the German invasion of Poland, Dziewanowski served in the Polish cavalry. Later he joined the Polish Armed Forces in the West and, like many, chose to remain in exile rather than return to communist Poland.
He moved to the United States, where at Harvard University he earned one of the first postwar doctorates in Russian and East European history. He taught at Boston University, where he attained the rank of professor. From 1979 to 1984 he taught at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
He authored many articles and books on 19th- and 20th-century Polish and Russian history. He wrote important works on the political ideas of Józef Piłsudski, the most prominent Polish politician of the interbellum, and of the great 19th-century Polish and Russian politician, Prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski.
Dziewanowski was a member of the Polish Academy of Learning, headquartered in Kraków.
