- Summary:
- "A major synthesis of the history of Poland in the First World War, summarizing one hundred years of historical research and breaking new ground in research. An in-depth account of the Russian, German and Austro-Hungarian territories of partitioned Poland, leading to the country's regaining of independence and repositioning in Europe after 1918. The book uses approaches from social and cultural history, anthropology and environmental history to show everyday life during the war as well as military and diplomatic developments. It analyzes how the policies pursued by the partitioning and occupying powers and the activities of the Polish independence movement and Piłsudski's legions overlapped and influenced each other"-- Provided by publisher.
