The Clash of Moral Nations is a study of the political culture of interwar Poland, as reflected in and by the May 1926 coup and the following period of “sanacja.”
Eva Plach is an assistant professor of history at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Canada.
“Plach does an excellent job of convincing the reader that her
select examples are valuable and insightful. This makes the book—an
enlightening look at interwar Poland’s cultural politics—well worth
reading by a broad audience.”
*Slavic Review*
“(T)his is an outstanding analysis of the trauma experienced by
Poles in the wake of the realization that independence, on its own
account, would not be a guarantee of political stability and
national unity.”
*The Slavonic and East European Review*
“This is an important book, presenting a pioneering, fresh approach
to the subject….”
*American Historical Review*
“Offers insight into the ways in which the boundaries between
public and private spheres began to be effaced even before the
arrival of totalitarianism…. solidly researched.”
*Journal of Modern History*
“The Clash of Moral Nations is sure to become required reading for
anyone interested in 20th-century East European history.”
“This original and readable reassessment of the implications of the
connection of politics with a powerful yearning for a far reaching
purification of the national condition deserves a prominent place
in the scholarly literature on the history of interwar Poland.”
*The Polish Review*
