A GOOD POLISH HISTORICAL ATLAS

From my experience, it has been very hard to get a good Polish history text. However, in this case, Pogonowski comes up with a very helpful format by providing some historical text followed by numerous large maps showing that historical activity. This book is very useful if you are reading accounts of Polish history -- or even a Sienkiewicz novel -- and need to see the CONTEMPORARY map so that you can associate the history or story with the ever-changing map of Poland and the Polish Commonwealth. - I like what the author did. It's very useful. And I recommend the book highly as an auxiliary reading tool.
