Through the Eyes of a Strategist and Diplomat
The authors describe these exceptionally eventful one hundred years in a clear and straightforward way, subjecting them to critical analysis. The book is written in a flowing style, easy to understand for non-experts as well. Prof. Jerzy Eisler The United States played an instrumental role in Poland's going down a difficult road - first to independence in 1918 and then to freedom and gull sovereignty in 1989. (...).

This important book fills that void and examines the agency of these states - Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Poland, Hungary, Bulga...
Poland in Transatlantic Relations after 1989
This volume brings together a number of scholars from a variety of disciplines to examine the phenomenon of the transformation of Poland within the context of regional and global power relations, focusing in particular on analyses of the country’s political and social development within the area of transatlantic relations. It provides a distinct view on the current dynamics and future perspectives of the transatlantic alliance. At a time when the story of Poland as the shining example of post-Communist success and European integration has been interrupted, several other leading narratives of the Western world also appear to be in danger: western values cannot be considered to be universal,...
