The Partitions of Poland 1772, 1793, 1795

The Partitions of Poland were the major political and diplomatic upheaval of their time in Eastern Europe, and one of the most drastic redrawings of any European frontiers before 1919. And yet they have been strangely neglected in modern historiography. The appearance of this major study (the first comprehensive survey of the topic in English since 1915), which is able to do proper justice to the Polish dimension, is therefore a significant event.
