"This work is not a biography of Jozef Pilsudski or a history of the period in which he lived. Rather, it is a contribution for the future researcher who will try to write a monograph of the Marshal or a history of the era in which he played such a great role. It is a chronicle of Pilsudski's life, and therefore a rather dry description of the facts of his life and activities. Avoiding an evaluation of the Marshal's actions, in this work I have tried to give as objectively as possible the course of events concerning his life in a chronologically ordered form." [from the author's preface].
