Book Reviews of God's Playground, Vol. 2: A History of Poland
Book Review: A clear, comprehensive summary of a complex history
Summary: 5 Stars
Davies really hits the nail on the head as far as Polish history is concerned. His synopsis of the past of a troubled country, often blurred by interpretation and political overshadowing cuts through the fog and sits the reader right back into context. He takes us through the ages of Polish in his familiar yet subtle language of metonymistic jollity, dodges the traps of cynicism or patrotism so many writers have blundered into on the subject. Definitely to be recommended to any amateurs of Polish history text.
