Description

Polish independence following the end of World War I marked a new era for a nation that had endured centuries of foreign partition.

But the spirit of Polish nationalism - forged during this long period of external domination - has frequently been at odds with the modernising drives of democracy and communism.

How can the ideals of nationalism survive in a modern nation-state?

Anita Prazmowska 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.
