Poland is a tenacious survivor-state: it was wiped off the map in
1795, resurrected after the First World War, apparently annihilated
again in the Second World War, and reduced to satellite status of
the Soviet Union after 1945. Yet it emerged in the vanguard of
resistance to the USSR in the 1980s, albeit as a much more
homogeneous entity than it had been in its multi-ethnic past. This
book outlines Poland's turbulent and complex history, from its
medieval Christian origins to the reassertion of that Christian and
European heritage after forty-five years of communism. It describes
Poland's transformation since 1989, and explains how Poland
navigated its way into a new Commonwealth of Nations in the
European Union. Recent years have witnessed significant changes
within Poland, Eastern Europe and the wider world. This new edition
reflects on these changes, and examines the current issues facing a
Poland which some would accuse of being out of touch with 'European
values'.
