A Traveller’s History Of Poland: (3rd Edition)

In A Traveller’s History of Poland, John Radzilowski vividly describes the beginnings of the country, first fragmented then reborn to overcome the aggression of the Teutonic Knights and its greedy neighbors. Since the horrors of the Second World War and Soviet control, Poland has gradually regained its rightful place in Europe, joining NATO in 1989 and in May 2004, the EU. It is playing a new role on the European and international stage. The book includes a full chronology, a list of monarchs and rulers, a gazetteer, historical maps and is fully illustrated.
