Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of the Polish Revolution of 1830, a pivotal moment in European history when a nation rose against the oppressive rule of the Russian Empire. The author, a firsthand witness and participant in the revolution, presents a compelling narrative that challenges the official accounts often influenced by those in power. Set against the backdrop of the post-Napoleonic era and the Congress of Vienna, the narrative traces the roots of the revolution to the broken promises of autonomy and the tyrannical reign of Grand Duke Constantine. The author vividly depicts the stifling atmosphere of surveillance, the suppression of free speech, and the brutal treatment of Polish citizens, especially those who dared to dream of freedom. The book explores the ideals that fueled the revolution ââ â the yearning for independence, the restoration of national identity, and the pursuit of liberty. It details the events leading up to the uprising, the strategic decisions made by the revolutionaries, and the key battles fought against the colossal Russian forces. Through personal recollections, official reports, and accounts from fellow revolutionaries, the author offers a comprehensive and insightful portrayal of the Polish struggle for freedom. This book serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of the fight for self-determination.
