Book Reviews of The Polish Way: A Thousand-Year History of the Poles and Their Culture

Book Review: Great for European context and Polish culture.
Summary: 4 Stars

This book provides a wide and far ranging account of a thousand years of Polish history and culture.
Zamoyski has given the subject of Polish culture a far greater share of the pages than many books about Polish history that I have read.The book is illustrated with examples of Polish art, documents,photographs and maps.A detailed and contextualised account of Polish history is given in a very readable format.An excellent book for both newcomers to Polish history and old hands.
