Description
Poland: A History
From its origins over a thousand years ago to its current status as a thriving nation, Poland's story is one of turmoil and triumph. In this fully revised and updated edition, Adam Zamoyski explores the complex history of a country that has been shaped by its strategic location at the crossroads of Europe.
The division of Poland among Russia, Prussia, and Austria in 1797 had a profound impact on the country's development, leading to two world wars and the Cold War. Zamoyski's comprehensive history looks back at the rise, fall, and rebirth of this remarkable nation, revealing a complex and fascinating story that spans centuries.
