Jozef Pilsudski: Hero of Poland
A biography of the great Polish Patriot and leaders of the resurrected Poland
Józef Pilsudski (1868-1935) is the heroic and controversial leader of the reconstituted Poland that emerged out of World War I. Although he never held an elected office he placed his personal stamp on the development of the Pre-War Polish Republic. In some ways he was a visionary for the era (A Federation of Eastern States, free education, woman’s suffrage) he also was responsible for a dominant military presence and a coup against the elected government.
Professor Lenkiewicz examines the legacy of “The Marshal” in Polish and world history. This is a translation from Polish based on his research collected over many years.

Ne tiek biografija, kiek užkėlimas ant pjedestalo. Apeinami bet kokie jautresni klausimai. Atrodo net kiek komiškai, kad nėra net menkiausio bandymo plėtoti dvigubos Pilsudskio tapatybės (o jis pats save pavadindavo lietuviu) problemą. Nėra vystoma net konflikto su Dmowskio endekais tema - apie ją tik užsimenama. Net Narutowicziaus nužudymo trauma nepriverčia autoriaus patyrinėti, kas vis dėlto kėlė susipriešinimą.
Šiokie tokie privalumai, paskatinę užbaigti knygą - daug paties Pilsudskio citatų ir bendra maršalo gyvenimo apžvalga, kokia paviršutiniška ji bebūtų. Manau, kad knyga gali būti įdomi lietuviams, norintiems daugiau sužinoti apie neeilinę istorinę asmenybę, bet svarbu per daug nesitikėti.
