Absolute garbage. Wrong history, even worst plot.
A bit heavy going but if you're planning a visit to Poland or if, like I was, you are in Poland and looking for insights, this book is it!
A fascinating novel from one of my favorite authors.
Like the heroic land that is its subject, James Michener's POLAND teems with vivid events and unforgettble characters. In the sweeping span of eight tumultuous centuries, three Polish families live out their destinies and the drama of a nation—in the grand tradition of a great James Michener saga.
"POLAND is a monumental effort, a magnificent guide to a better understanding of the country's tribulations."

Loved it! Great view of the human drama in the traumatic history of a country caught in the crossfire of political power.
Another great Michener epic tale - this one of Eastern Europe!

I had to skip over many of the names w/o trying to pronounce them Very good historical picture of Poland.
I loved this book. If you enjoy fiction based on history, nobody does it better than Michener.
