Book Synopsis
The Swedish invasion of 1655 provoked the political and military collapse of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the second-largest state in Europe. Robert Frost examines the reasons for Poland's fall and the conduct of the war by the Polish government. In particular he addresses the crucial question of why attempts at political reform failed.
