During each period the population, including the Polish majority and the Jewish, Ukrainian, and German minorities, reacted with a combination of accommodation, collaboration, and resistance. In this remarkably detailed and revealing study, Marek Jan Chodakiewicz analyzes and describes the responses of the inhabitants of occupied Jan w to the policies of the ruling powers. He provides a highly useful typology of response to occupation, defining collaboration as an active relationship with the occupiers for reasons of self-interest and to the detriment of one's neighbors; resistance as passive and active opposition; and accommodation as compliance falling between the two extremes. He focuses on the ways in which these reactions influenced relations between individuals, between social classes, and between ethnic groups. Casting new light on social dynamics within occupied Poland during and after World War I, Between Nazis and Soviets yields valuable insight for scholars of conflict studies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52148789575953,"sku":"NLS9780739104842","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52495157788945,"sku":"NIN9780739104842","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780739104842.jpg?v=1757604650"},{"product_id":"poland-s-transformation-book-marek-jan-chodakiewicz-9781412805926","title":"Poland's Transformation","description":"Poland's Transformation captures a snapshot of Polish history at a momentwhen it is emerging with difficulty from nearly 300 of the worst years anynation can endure.

That is the case in the Intermarium, the land between the Baltic and Black Seas in Eastern Europe. The area is the last unabashed rampart of Western Civilization in the East, and a point of convergence of disparate cultures.  Marek Jan Chodakiewicz focuses on the Intermarium for several reasons. Most importantly because, as the inheritor of the freedom and rights stemming from the legacy of the Polish-Lithuanian\/Ruthenian Commonwealth, it is culturally and ideologically compatible with American national interests. It is also a gateway to both East and West. Since the Intermarium is the most stable part of the post-Soviet area, Chodakiewicz argues that the United States should focus on solidifying its influence there. The ongoing political and economic success of the Intermarium states under American sponsorship undermines the totalitarian enemies of freedom all over the world. As such, the area can act as a springboard to addressing the rest of the successor states, including those in the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Russian Federation.  Intermarium has operated successfully for several centuries. It is the most inclusive political concept within the framework of the Commonwealth. By reintroducing the concept of the Intermarium into intellectual discourse the author highlights the autonomous and independent nature of the area. This is a brilliant and innovative addition to European Studies and World Culture.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52620242682129,"sku":"NLS9781412847742","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781412847742.jpg?v=1761538159"},{"product_id":"poland-s-transformation-book-marek-jan-chodakiewicz-9781138529991","title":"Poland's Transformation","description":"Poland has carried out two peaceful revolutions in the span of one generation: first, the self-limiting movement of Solidarity, which undermined the legitimacy of Communism and then a negotiated transfer of power from Communism to free market democracy","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52653654278417,"sku":"NLS9781138529991","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52849319215377,"sku":"NIN9781138529991","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781138529991.jpg?v=1762211805"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-marek-jan-chodakiewicz.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
