Poland: A History

Poland: A History

As Zamoyski set out to update <i>The Polish Way</i>, his bestselling first history of Poland, he realized the task required not so much re-writing<br /> as re-thinking the known facts well as the assumptions of the past. The events of the last twenty years and the growth of the independent<br /> Polish state allowed him to look at Poland's past with a fresh eye. Tracing Poland's complex development from the Middle Ages to<br /> present day, Zamoyski examines the country's political, economic, and military struggles, as well as its culture, art, and richly varied society<br /> through the ages, bringing the major events and characters in Poland's history to life.
