Adam Zamoyski first wrote his history of Poland two years before the collapse of the Soviet Union. This substantially revised & updated edition sets the Soviet era in the context of the rise, fall & remarkable rebirth of an indomitable nation.

But the country they wiped off the map had been one of Europe`s largest & most richly varied, born of diverse cultural traditions & one of the boldest constitutional experiments ever attempted.
