Books by Marjorie Castle

Through research and interviews Castle examines the causes and consequences of Poland's collapse as a communist state and explores how today's leaders confront some of the legacies of transition.

Through a comprehensive analysis of politics in this young European democracy, the authors explain the complexity and uncertainty of political processes and outcomes in Poland. Poland's past -the flawed Second Republic established after World War I, as well as the imperfect independence in the Soviet shadow following World War II's devastation.
