Jozef Pilsudski
The story of the enigmatic Jozef Pilsudski, the founding father of modern Poland: a brilliant military leader and high-minded statesman who betrayed his own democratic vision by seizing power in a military coup. In the story of modern Poland, no one stands taller than Jozef Pilsudski. From the age of sixteen he devoted his life to reestablishing the Polish state that had ceased to exist in 1795. Ahead of World War I, he created a clandestine military corps to fight Russia, which held most Polish territory. After the war, his dream of an independent Poland realized, he took the helm of its newly democratic political order. When he died in 1935, he was buried alongside Polish kings. Yet Pilsud...

War and Diplomacy in East and West
The New York Times said of Józef Hieronim Retinger that he was on intimate terms with most leading statesmen of the Western World, including presidents of the United States. He has been repeatedly acknowledged as one of the principle architects of the movement for European unity after the World War II, and one of the outstanding creative political influences of the post war period. He has also been credited with being the dark master behind the so-called "Bilderberg Group," described variously as an organization of idealistic internationalists, and a malevolent global conspiracy. Before that, Retinger involved himself in intelligence activities during World War II and, given the covert and semi-covert nature of many of his activities, it is little wonder that no biography has appeared about him. This book draws on a broad range of international archives to rectify that.
The History of Poland
This book is an engaging explanation of the complicated history of Poland, one of the least well-known countries in Europe. Poland, which has one of the strongest economies in the European Union, has faced significant turmoil throughout the years. Encapsulating centuries of development, this book distills Poland's historical evolution into patterns, including those that have developed since the first edition was published nearly 20 years ago. The book begins with an overview of contemporary Poland, providing both basic information about the geography, culture, and current political climate of the country while tying these to major contemporary issues. This introduction is followed by chapters discussing Poland's long history, starting with the 10th century. The second half of the book presents a history of Poland in the 20th and 21st centuries, covering the major issues affecting the country and offering possible interpretations of them. This updated and revised edition accounts for recent events in Poland and examines the effects of the Polish diaspora globally.
Wielkie mocarstwa wobec Polski 1919-1945. Od Wersalu do Jałty
Dlaczego wielkie mocarstwa torpedowały starania Polaków do stworzenia koalicji państw Europy Środkowej i Wschodniej? Dlaczego ponieśliśmy klęskę, będąc w zwycięskim obozie koalicji antyhitlerowskiej? Co wpłynęło na ukształtowanie powojennej Polski? Jan Karski opracował dzieje polityki wielkich mocarstw wobec Polski w okresie od I wojny światowej do układu jałtańskiego. Spoglądał na ich działania przez pryzmat strategicznych interesów i skutków, jakie miały dla naszego kraju. Burzył obecny w wielu umysłach „romantyczny” mit o doniosłości znaczenia Polski w Europie, ujawniając wiele nieznanych faktów politycznych z lat dwudziestych i trzydziestych XX wieku. W swojej książce szukał odpowiedzi na pytania, które dręczą Polaków do dzisiaj. *** To, że wojna rozpoczęła się od niemiecko-sowieckiego paktu przeciwko Polsce, a nie od niemiecko-polskiego paktu przeciwko Związkowi Sowieckiemu, było kwestią wyboru Polski. Do wojny doszłoby tak czy inaczej, ale byłaby to inna wojna. W tym sensie Polska wpłynęła na bieg dziejów świata. Ze wstępu Timothy’ego Snydera
