Poland in the Modern World [PDF ebook] 
Beyond Martyrdom

Ondersteuning

Poland in the Modern World presents a history of the
country from the late nineteenth century to the present,
incorporating new perspectives from social and cultural history and
positioning it in a broad global context
* Challenges traditional accounts Poland that tend to focus on
national, political history, emphasizing the country’s
‘exceptionalism’.
* Presents a lively, multi-dimensional story, balancing coverage
of high politics with discussion of social, cultural and economic
changes, and their effects on individuals’ daily lives.
* Explores both the regional diversity within Poland and the
country’s place within Europe and the wider world.
* Provides a new interpretive framework for understanding key
historical events in Poland’s modern history, including the
experiences of World War II and the postwar communist era.
