This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Joseph Pilsudski, Founder of Polish National Independence and Chief of the Polish State Like Kosciuszko and Mickiewicz, Pilsudski was born in Lithuania, the country that as early as the XIVth century joined Poland in a voluntary union when threatened by Teutonic invasions. Poland and Lithuania together formed one State, which was later on looked upon by both nations as their fatherland. The parents of Pilsudski belonged to the gentry of Poland, White-Ruthenia and Lithuania, that gentry which had for centuries protected these three nations from the invasions constantly threatening from East and West. In the family estate of Zulov, not far from Vilno, the future Commander in Chief and Chief of the Polish State first saw the light. He was born soon after the national insurrection in which the whole family took an active part. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Jozef Pilsudski written by Joshua D. Zimmerman and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. In the story of modern Poland, no one stands taller than Jozef Pilsudski. From the age of sixteen he devoted his life to reestablishing the Polish state that had ceased to exist in 1795. Ahead of World War I, he created a clandestine military corps to fight Russia, which held most Polish territory. After the war, his dream of an independent Poland realized, he took the helm of its newly democratic political order. When he died in 1935, he was buried alongside Polish kings. Yet Pilsudski was a complicated figure. Passionately devoted to the idea of democracy, he ceded power on constitutional terms, only to retake it a few years later in a coup when he believed his opponents aimed to dismantle the democratic system. Joshua Zimmerman’s authoritative biography examines a national hero in the thick of a changing Europe, and the legacy that still divides supporters and detractors. The Poland that Pilsudski envisioned was modern, democratic, and pluralistic. Domestically, he championed equality for Jews. Internationally, he positioned Poland as a bulwark against Bolshevism. But in 1926 he seized power violently, then ruled as a strongman for nearly a decade, imprisoning opponents and eroding legislative power. In Zimmerman’s telling, Pilsudski’s faith in the young democracy was shattered after its first elected president was assassinated. Unnerved by Poles brutally turning on one another, the father of the nation came to doubt his fellow citizens’ democratic commitments and thereby betrayed his own. It is a legacy that dogs today’s Poland, caught on the tortured edge between self-government and authoritarianism.

Download or read book Jozef Pilsudski written by Antoni Lenkiewicz and published by Winged Hussar Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Józef Piłsudski (1868-1935) is the heroic and controversial leader of the reconstituted Poland that emerged out of World War I. He was a revolutionary who defeated the Red Armies outside of Warsaw and 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. Dr. Lenkiewicz examines the life of this hero of Poland based on original documentation and people who knew him.
Download or read book Independence Day written by M. B. B. Biskupski and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 11th of November 1918, Polish Independence Day, is a curious anniversary whose commemoration has been only intermittently observed in the last century. In fact, the day — and the several symbols that rightly or wrongly have become associated with it — has a rather convoluted history, filled with tradition and myth, which deserves attention. Independence Day is more than just the history of a day, or the evolution of its celebration, but an explanation of what meaning has come to be associated with that date. It offers a re-reading of Polish history, not by a series of dates, but through a series of symbols whose combination allows the Poles to understand who they are by what they have been. Its focus is on the era 1914-2008, and the central actor is the charismatic Jozef Pilsudski. He came to represent a disposition regarding the meaning of Polish history which eventually penetrated virtually all of modern Polish society. The work is constructed by the analysis of memoirs, documents, coins, stamps, films, maps, monuments, and many other features making it a multi-disciplinary and multi-dimensional volume.
Download or read book Pilsudski written by Alexandra Pilsudska and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1941, this is a biography written by the wife of Józef Piłsudski (1867-1935), the Polish statesman who was Chief of State from 1918-1922, “First Marshal of Poland” from 1920, de facto leader of the Second Polish Republic from 1926-1935, and Minister of Military Affairs. He had a major influence in Poland’s politics from mid-World War I onwards and was an important figure on the European political scene. Piłsudski was also the person most responsible for the creation of the Second Polish Republic in 1918, 123 years after it had been taken over by Russia, Austria and Prussia. A fascinating read.
Download or read book Pi sudski a Life for Poland written by Wacław Jędrzejewicz and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Józef Piłsudski, Marshal of the Polish armies who defeated the Soviets in 1920 before the gates of Warsaw, occupies a special niche in the hearts of his countrymen. This biography by one of the great Marshal's contemporaries is the first in more than forty years. Piłsudski is one of the major figures of Polish history and certainly one of its most important leaders in the 20th century. As a founder of the Polish Socialist Party, soldier, commander-in-chief of the Polish Army and victor of the 1919-1920 Polish-Bolshevik War, and premier, he exercised paramount influence over the policies of Poland during the last decade of his life which ended in 1935. This biography is in no sense "official" but a balanced account addressed to the general reader with an interest in history and political science. -- from dust jacket.

Book excerpt: The epic story of Joseph Pilsudski, the father of Polish independence. Although he is largely either unknown or misunderstood in the West, Pilsudski was a consequential historical figure whose defeat of the Red Army in 1920 preserved Poland's sovereignty and quite possibly spared Europe from Bolshevik revolution. This account of Pilsudski's life places this and other achievements in the proper context by providing sufficient background in Polish history and illuminating his interconnectedness with more well known historical events.
