Looking for an English language book that focuses on Poland AFTER 1989. Most general surveys only mention the period 1989- I am looking for a little more on things such as privatization, Walesa and future administrations, the 1995 crisis, EU membership, post-89 cultural changes- etc. Thanks

mylesg There is no Polish history after 1989. Actually, there isn't even a history after 1945. Everything happened before WW2 and then ... nothing ... ;) This seems to be a good starter with lots of resources mentioned: http://www.euij-tc.org/pub/research_papers/20060916_TUFS_International _Symposium/The_Polish_Historiography_on_Contemporary_History_after_198 9.pdf

Of course there are books of the more recent history, Poland under communism describes the period of Solidarnosc and the economical changes after 89 in detail. Bought this book last year. Poland under communism, a cold war history A. Kemp Welch Norman.
