Works

In Communist Poland, Eisler primarily researched Vichy France to avoid censorship; however, during the 80s, as Solidarity gained mileage in Polish politics, he authored texts on contemporary history for circulation in the underground.^[2] In post-Communist Poland, his habilitation dissertation was on the 1968 Polish political crisis.^[2]
