Jozef Pilsudski: Founding Father of Modern Poland

byJoshua D. Zimmerman

The story of the enigmatic Jozef Pilsudski, the founding father of modern Poland: a brilliant military leader and high-minded statesman who betrayed his own democratic vision by seizing power in a military coup. The argument in Jozef Pilsudski develops through biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, attending to both broad patterns and the revealing details that resist them. That perspective connects the founding father of modern poland to larger questions in biography & autobiography and history, without losing sight of the people living through the consequences.
