Dick & Others,
This book is available online through Amazon.com and Chapters.  Amazon is
charging $63.77 to 64.25 CDN and Chapters has it in softcover for $28.06 CDN
but you can buy it new through the used area on Chapters for $20 -- about
the cost of gas to drive to the local Library.  :-))

Gloria,


And if anyone is interested in Volhynia in 1919 (and the years before and
after it), I will mention again the very fine book by Kate Brown, "A
Biography of No Place.  From Ethnic Borderland to Soviet Heartland",
Cambridge, 2004.  This gives a good worm's eye view of what the transition
to the Soviet system was like in Volhynia.  It deals largely with the Polish
element in Volhynia, but the Germans get some attention, too.  It's a shame
that this book isn't available online.  It probably costs a small fortune to
buy, but there's always interlibrary loan.
