Summary: Probably Better Than Nothing
Comment: This book seems to be to be a mock-up that accidentally got bound and sold before it had a chance to be edited by either the author or the publisher. It is filled with typos--English, not Polish, which I am not qualified to judge; contradictory dates; phrases, such as "Golden Freedoms," repeated but never explained; map borders overlaid on one another so it is impossible to see what's going on; legends missing on the maps. As a result, I am leery of its historical and geographical accuracy too, and feel I will have to double and triple check it against other sources before I can trust it.

Summary: A GOOD POLISH HISTORICAL ATLAS
Comment: 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.
