As Zamoyski set out to update The Polish Way, his bestselling first history of Poland, he realized the task required not so much re-writing
as re-thinking the known facts well as the assumptions of the past. The events of the last twenty years and the growth of the independent

present day, Zamoyski examines the country's political, economic, and military struggles, as well as its culture, art, and richly varied society
through the ages, bringing the major events and characters in Poland's history to life.
