Reviews

[Coleman]

It would be difficult to find another book like this written in English.

While the peasants of Poland no doubt lived a terrible existence, I can't fault the author. This was very palatable and included so many details in just 250 pages. It's a treasure trove of information regarding peasant life in Poland up until about the 1950s.
