Book Reviews of My Century (New York Review Books Classics)
Book Review: Good Explanation of the Politcal Division in 20th Century Poland and Russia
Summary: 4 Stars
Though it is only one man's view, the book provides a good explanation for why communism never took off in popularity in Poland like it did in Russia. An interesting account of the political currents in independent Poland between the world wars. Also an interesting account of life in the gulags and the places people scattered to, like Khazikstan, when World War II broke out. There must be countless stories like this one, that will never be heard about. I also very much liked Milosz's Legends of Modernity, and Wat's experience truly augmented that read.
