BOOK SYNOPSIS
Whilst the history of 20th Century Poland is well documented, the history of its football is not. From Partition to Solidarity attempts to show that, however separate the subjects may seem, an inextricable and often fascinating link between the two has always existed. Starting from its humbled beginnings in Austrian-partitioned Poland, and ending a century later in a post-communist world, it is difficult to ignore the impact that 123 years of partition, two world wars and over 40 years of Soviet puppetry has had on a rapidly developing Polish game. Through the stories of Ernest Wilimowski, Kazimierz Deyna, Zbigniew Boniek and many more, and set against a backdrop of partition, reunification, occupation, oppression, rebellion and finally freedom, From Partition... tells the astonishing history of Polish football like no other book has done before.
