Synopsis "Conflict, War and Revolution: My Life (in English)"
Conflict, War and Revolution, the memoir of Baroness Alessandra Koslowska (1892-1975), is a vivid retelling of her life from childhood to the end of the Second World War. It begins with her life of wealth and status in the Caucasus, and ends with internment as an alien in rural Italy, in Ospedaletto. In between she survived two revolutions in Russia and the subsequent civil war, her travels in central Europe during WWI, her life in Italy during the inter-war years, and her internment there where she was almost terminated by German forces. It is the story of her struggle to keep her family together through the huge and sometimes deadly changes of early twentieth century Europe. For most of the rest of her life she lived in Italy, where her husband was a diplomat for the newly reformed nation of Poland. Her grandson, Andrew, came across his Grandmother's faded, flimsy carbon manuscript, which became the memoir, Conflict, War and Revolution.
