  • 2020 Do You Know Poland
    DO YOU KNOW POLAND? BOOKS AND INFORMATION ON POLISH HISTORY AND CULTURE General History of Poland Patrice Dabrowski, Poland: The First Thousand Years (2014) Avoiding academic prose yet precise, this sweeping overview of the history of Poland into the 21st century is engagingly written but geared toward more scholarly audiences. Excellent source of knowledge about outstanding individuals, major turning points, and origins of such memorable mottos as " for our freedom and yours" which reverberated through the long history of struggles for Poland's independence and freedom during the 19th and 20th centuries. Norman Davies, God’s Playground: A History of Poland (several editions between 1981 and 2005) The first of the “modern” studies of Poland, this detailed history in two volumes (Volume 1: The origins to 1795 and Volume 2: 1795 to the present) is also widely viewed as one of the best English-language works on the subject. Davies is widely known as a prolific writer and an expert on Polish and European history. Norman Davies, Europe: A History (1995) A highly innovative work that gives proper attention to Poland’s place in European history. From the review section of Good Reads website: "....histories should neither be told as stories or as simply a collection of facts, but something in between: Davies does it to near perfection. The writing is smooth and easily understandable for all." John Radzilowski, A Traveller’s History of Poland (2007, 2nd edition in 2014) Not a travelogue but an outstanding account of Poland's complex history and Poles' invincible spirit. Designed for general audiences, this clearly written and well- organized book includes numerous illustrations, maps, timelines, lists of historical figures, and a gazetteer.
