Description
From the bestselling author of On Tyranny comes a revealing history of the four modern national ideas that arose from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
“[A] fresh and stimulating look at the path to nationhood.”—Robert Legvold, Foreign Affairs
“Erudite and engrossing.”—Charles King, Times Literary Supplement
Modern nationalism in northeastern Europe has often led to violence and then reconciliation between nations with bloody pasts. In this fascinating book, Timothy Snyder traces the emergence of Polish, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, and Belarusian nationhood over four centuries. He discusses various atrocities, including the first account of the massive Ukrainian-Polish ethnic cleansings of the 1940s, and examines Poland’s recent successful negotiations with its newly independent Eastern neighbours, as it has channelled national interest toward peace.

The Reconstruction of Nations is praised for its literary style, which effectively intertwines deep historical analysis with engaging and articulate writing. This approach showcases how history can be both academically rigorous and beautifully expressed, as noted by Charles King in the Times Literary Supplement.
