The chapter about the partitions and the way leading to them is one of the highlights of this book. There are deep insights in the workings of the Polish republic of nobleman, which in essence was an oligarchy of few super-rich families ("magnats") like Radziwiłł, Ossoliński, Lubomirski, Branicki, Czartoryski, Zamoyski, Mniszech, who cared mainly for their personal interest and were influenced from abroad.
