Adam Zamoyski first wrote his history of Poland two years before
the collapse of the Soviet Union. This substantially revised and
updated edition sets the Soviet era in the context of the rise,
fall and remarkable rebirth of an indomitable nation. In 1797,
Russia, Prussia and Austria divided Poland among themselves,
rewriting Polish history to show that they had brought much-needed
civilisation to a primitive backwater. But the country they wiped
off the map had been one of Europe's largest and most richly
varied, born of diverse cultural traditions and one of the boldest
constitutional experiments ever attempted. Its destruction
ultimately led to two world wars and the Cold War. Zamoyski's fully
revised history of Poland looks back over a thousand years of
turmoil and triumph, chronicling how Poland has been restored at
last to its rightful place in Europe.
