The White Eagle of Poland
'The White Eagle of Poland' by E.F. Benson is a comprehensive analysis of the complex issue of reconstructing a free Polish state after World War I. The book explores how Poland can act as a crucial barrier to prevent Germany from expanding eastward and dominating the world. The author describes the partitions of Poland and the nationalities it was composed of before the war, to show why Poland's independence is crucial. The book also delves into the internal conditions of the Russian Kingdom of Poland during the war, which the occupying powers complicated.
The Russian Government in Poland
Reprint of the original, first published in 1867.
Poland
Polish independence following the end of World War I marked a new era for a nation which had endured centuries of foreign partition. But the spirit of Polish nationalism - forged during this long period of external domination - has been frequently at odds with the modernising drives of democracy and communism. How can the ideals of nationalism survive in a modern nation-state? Anita Pra'mowska traces this conflict from the emergence of an independent Poland in 1918; through World War II, communism and the democratic victories of Solidarity; to the present day, when Polish membership of the EU is changing perceptions both within Poland and in the wider world. "Poland: A Modern History" presents a vivid and accessible portrait of Poland's tumultuous history over the past century. It is a clear and concise introduction to a nation which, often at the epicentre of European political history, has nevertheless sometimes struggled to define its national identity.
