Reviews
"...widely viewed as the best single-volume general history of Poland." -- Richard Bernstein, The New York Times, "Davies is the foremost historian of modern Poland. Of his previous books, God's Playground: A History of Poland is widely regarded as a landmark account." -- Carlo D'Este, New York Times Book Review, "He offers one of the best histories of the country. It is a book that reads, not as non-fiction history, but as a popular novel of our times." -- Polish American Journal

Synopsis
The most comprehensive survey of Polish history available in English, God's Playground demonstrates Poland's importance in European history from medieval times to the present., In this first volume, Davies points out that long before the rise of Russia and Prussia the kingdom of Poland was a major power in eastern Europe. As an early recipient of Latin culture, Poland was deeply involved in the Reformation, Counter-Reformation, and Enlightenment. Before the notorious Partitions of 1773-95 redrew the map of Europe beyond all recognition, the United Republic of Poland-Lithuania was at once one of the largest states and home of one of the most extraordinary cultures of the continent, displaying a unique blend of military prowess, religious tolerance, democratic ideals, and political chaos., The most comprehensive survey of Polish history available in English. Davies stresses the country's rich multinational heritage.
