Lot description Show orginal version

Warsaw 1936, Institute for the Study of Recent Polish History. 16x24 cm, pp. 573, (1), black and white photographs on separate pages, soft cover. Good condition (soiling and minor cover tears).

"The basis for writing the book was the author's notes made while working in the government of the Second Republic (from 1926). These notes included observations of the daily work of the government, as well as various data covered by state secrets. Due to this content, the notebooks with the notes (thirteen pieces) were destroyed by the author and Jakub Krzeminski in 1939. The layout of the book is an account of successive meetings or calls to Marshal Pilsudski.

The publication of the diaries caused a political sensation. Contrary to the author's intentions, they were of an unmasking nature, revealing many matters previously covered by secrecy, as well as showing the mechanisms of political decision-making after the May Coup. They also approximated the image of Marshal Pilsudski and his entourage, unknown to the wider Polish public, and at a time when there were fierce power struggles after his death, resulting in the decomposition of the Sanation camp."
