Description
By William Richard Morfill. Here is the story of the nation of Poland, written in the days before the poison of political correctness destroyed simple factual accounts of the history of our people.
Told in the classic, clear, and unambiguous style of historians unfettered by the demands to be “politically correct,” these classic works are a treasure trove of facts and history which will not be found in the modern “court historian” version which have been censored by the powers-that-be.
First written in 1893, available now in this authentic reproduction, with 76 illustrations.
