" Szujski's study would certainly do no harm to students of history as an excellent school of superb historical thinking, a lesson given by a great one of our most brilliant teachers. The historian will find here a model of historical narrative and honesty in his approach to the sources and the material presented. Finally, the history lover will find here a wonderfully, vividly written book, a passionate lecture of Polish history made by a man who was not indifferent to it. "
