Publisher Description: Co-Winner of the 2010 ASEEES/Orbis Book Prize for Polish Studies When an independent Poland reappeared on the map of Europe after World War I, it was widely regarded as the most Catholic country on the continent, as "Rome's Most Faithful Daughter." All the same, the relations of the Second Polish Republic with the Church--both its representatives inside the country and the Holy See itself--proved far more difficult than expected. |
