Lewandowski's grave

Janusz Lewandowski (10 March 1931 – 13 August 2013) was a Polish diplomat, known for arranging the Operation Marigold, a failed secret attempt to reach a compromise solution to the Vietnam War.[1][2]

In 1955 he graduated from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, then Ukrainian SSR and afterwards held various positions at the Polish foreign ministry.[1]

At the time when he started arranging the Vietnam talks, officially he was a representative at the International Control Commission set up to monitor the ceasefire in the divided Vietnam.[1]

Later he served as an ambassador to a number of countries and retired in 1991.[1]

Lewandowski died of cancer in 2013[1] and was interred at the Powązki Military Cemetery.[3]
