The History of Poland (The Greenwood Histories of the Modern Nations)
"Biskupski provides a succinct review of Poland's history prior to the partitions, highlighting the key points over which scholars contradict themselves....Biskupski compels us to reflect not only upon the consequences for inhabitants of the former Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth, but also upon what might have been. The substance of the essay, Poland in the 20th century, is an indispensable reference. The key issues are here as are the scholarly disputations about them, with every chapter salted with Biskupski wit, trenchant observations, and honest, refreshingly direct opinions."-Stanislaus A.
