This monograph deals with Polish foreign policy shortly before the
outbreak of the Second World War. In tracing the diplomatic
activity of foreign minister Jozef Beck, it discusses six general
problems: (1) the Polish political situation under the pressure of
appeasement; (2) the project of Intermarium and efforts to
implement it; (3) the action against Czechoslovakia and the
conflict with the Soviet Union; (4) the Polish attitude towards the
German concept of Gesamtlosung in Germany's relations with Poland;
(5) the genesis of the Polish alliance with Great Britain; (6) the
Allies' military inaction after Nazi Germany's aggression. In these
conditions, Poland made four key decisions: it stood against
Czechoslovakia, it rejected German demands, it allied itself with
the United Kingdom, and it rejected the Soviet Union's claim for
the Red Army to march across Polish lands.
