The history of Poland is complex. More complex than you can imagine. The way this book adds the historical dimension to travel writing whilst using the principle of the gazetteer to describe history is a strategy that pays off - in spades.

The book covers both the honeypots of Warsaw and Krakow and many lesser known wonders.
