To Live Well Is to Hide Well
'The Truth They Said that Could Never Be Proven’

The book of the century

    For over 80 years, the death of Polish Prime Minister and Commander‑in‑Chief General Władysław Sikorski was shrouded in mystery, dismissed as an accident, and clouded by speculation. Today, that mystery is solved.

    As we finally reveal to the world that it was a carefully planned assassination by sabotage. The complete story inside the book 'To Live Well is to Hide Well'  by the acclaimed author Peter Urbanski. Buy it here digitally, or go to AMAZON worldwide or any large good bookstore around the world. 
Here's what you will discover:-

    Espionage & Identity

  • The dual life of Bronisław Urbanski as a spy, assassin, and devout Catholic.
  • The psychological toll of living in permanent disguise—how hiding well became synonymous with surviving well.

 

    Assassination & Sabotage

  • The sabotage of Flight AL523 and the death of General Sikorski as a central mystery.
  • Scientific and forensic validation of sabotage methods, including crash analysis and eyewitness accounts.

 

    Confession & Legacy

  • Bronisław’s deathbed confession as a narrative pivot—truth emerging from silence.
  • The moral reckoning of a son confronting the legacy of a father who shaped history from the shadows.

 

    Geopolitical Intrigue

  • Tensions between Poland, Britain, and the Soviet Union, especially around Sikorski’s alliances.
  • The role of secret resistance groups like the Musketeers and MI6’s involvement.

    Moral Ambiguity

  • Was Bronisław a patriot or a traitor? Assassin or savior?
  • The ethical complexity of wartime decisions and their long shadows.

    Peter Urbanski—acclaimed historian & author, and son of wartime intelligence officer Bronisław Urbanski—presents the definitive account that proves Sikorski’s death on the 4th of July 1943 was the result of a meticulously planned sabotage, not chance. This conclusion is no longer just his claim: it is independently verified and endorsed by leading historians, aviation investigators, and WWII scholars.
 

Validated by Global Experts / Historians / Professors

    Renowned figures have examined Urbanski’s evidence, tested its accuracy, and agreed it is the answer to one of WWII’s most enduring mysteries: Including Historian's who specifically interviewed Bronislaw's wartime partner 'Teddy'. Below are some books specifically mentioning the Author books and about Bronislaw. The Author's published books are fact checked by Historians, Professors, WW2 Air Crash Investigators and Governments - worldwide.

  • Stewart Egerton, historical researcher of WW2, Interviewed Bronislaw Urbanski's partner 'Teddy' an Cichociemni and MI6 Agent during WW2 in the early 1980s. Studied History (college major) & Historical Research at University of Liverpool (England) Graduated 1996

  • Chris Wroblewski, co‑author with Barnard of ‘Sabotage!’ (Grub Street, 2023), whose work affirms the book’s conclusions and dismantles all rival theories. Acclaims the authors works and father's involvement, ruling out everything else known.

  • Garth Barnard — WWII air crash investigator whose independent research supports Urbanski’s findings. Producer of ‘Sikorski’s Last Flight’ 2015 & co-author of ‘Sabotage!’ 2023

  • Professor Peter Zablocki — American–Polish historian, author of ‘The Death of General Sikorski’ (2024), whose work aligns with Urbanski’s proof. Even though Peter did not have the current version of the book that now contains the proof photograph of Bronislaw next to Sikorski’s body.

  • Professor Norman Davies — legendary historian, who includes Urbanski’s conclusion in ‘Plus Ultra’ (2024, Polish edition).

  • Poland's IPN Chief Prosecutor — investigation has been raised on 2nd July 2025 with Governments (Poland to Australia) MLA has been enacted 2nd July 2025 as Governments to consider the interrogation this author regarding the mysterious death of PM and General Wladyslaw Sikorski on the 4th of July 1943.
    Let's wait and see how it all pans out between the governments.

    Plus, too many more to list!

     

    These respected voices join a growing chorus of military analysts, eyewitness accounts, and declassified documents—all converging on the same irrefutable truth.

The Evidence That Rewrites History

    Drawing on his father’s 1984 confession, top‑level intelligence files, crash‑site analysis, and never‑before‑seen photographs placing Bronisław Urbanski in Sikorski’s Gibraltar security detail, To Live Well Is to Hide Well dismantles eight decades of speculation.


It reveals precisely not guesswork at all:

  • How the sabotage was engineered—and the role of the operative who gave the final signal.

  • Why political alliances, wartime betrayals, and high‑level complicity ensured the truth stayed buried.

  • The hidden life of the man whose espionage skills inspired Ian Fleming in creating James Bond.
     

A Historic Revelation, Told by the Only Person Who Could. His living son that 'he only told the story to' acclaimed author and historian Peter Urbanski.

    This is more than history. It is the personal, unflinching testimony of the son entrusted to keep silent for over 35 years, now revealing the truth the world was never meant to know.

Read the book. Examine the proof. Decide for yourself.

Fascinating and worth persevering with...

"....... as the author was working in a language (English) that is not their own. However, the story is very interesting and sheds new potential light on the (Sikorski) assassination. It includes a lot of particularly interesting photos to support the story. I learnt things about the Polish underground as well, that I had not fully appreciated."

ANDREW REEDS - British Military, MI5 Major, SAS, Military Journalist, MOD writer, Journalist, Businessman - Book review on AMAZON in the United Kingdom on March 5, 2021

Most Amazing...

We were taught at school how the Enigma was handed over to the British, how Bertrand fed info back and how Dilly Knox met the team in Warsaw, how a machine was smuggled here (excuse my putting it in a nutshell). However, this book (and I paid for mine) is a fascinating, more detailed insight than you would teach a fifteen-year-old. Good read! "

The most stupendous TRUTHS, in history...

" Peter you are extraordinary, remember the beginning to where you are now, what an incredible journey and a difficult one, but you kept faith, honored your father's wishes and you have come out the other side, with one of the most stupendous TRUTHS, in history. Pat yourself on the back for me, I am just an observer, and I like what I see."

Everyone thought it was the Russians!...

" Everyone thought like I did until March 1984, that it was the Russians that killed Sikorski, sadly this is not the case at all. He (Bronislaw) did such a good job, that NOBODY could work it out as to what exactly happened. All that could be deduced was that somehow the elevator(s) were jammed -but how?","Now we tell you how and why!"

PETER URBANSKI - Author, son of Bronislaw - 27/09/2024

Congratulations!

"....... I know you’ve been steadfast in bringing your father’s story to light, and it sounds like your persistence has contributed to these conclusions by others........

May I say, Congratulations!"
