Description
A Concise History of Poland by Jerzy Lukowski and Hubert Zawadzki provides an in-depth exploration of Poland's complex and turbulent past. From its medieval Christian origins to the reassertion of that heritage after forty-five years of communism, this book outlines the country's transformation since 1989. The authors examine how Poland navigated its way into a new Commonwealth of Nations in the European Union, and reflect on recent changes within Poland, Eastern Europe, and the wider world. This new edition of the book reflects on these changes and explores the current issues facing Poland, including its relationship with 'European values'. With 526 pages of detailed history, this concise volume is an essential resource for anyone looking to understand the complexities of modern Poland.
