- Summary
- "Poland is a major European country with over 38 million inhabitants and a land area comparable to Spain. John Radzilowski describes the beginnings of the country, first fragmented then reborn to overcome the aggression of the Teutonic Knights and its greedy neighbors. Poland enjoyed a Golden Age in the fifteen and sixteenth centuries but a gradual decline then led to a loss of autonomy. Since the horrors of the Second World War and Soviet control, Poland has gradually regained its rightful place in Europe, joining NATO in 1989 and the EU in May 2004, and is playing a new role on the European and international stage." "With a historical gazatteer, chronology of major events, index, bibliography and historical and contemporary maps, this book is an invaluable companion to students and visitors."--BOOK JACKET
