Intimate portrait of a Polish leader and a nation at a crossroads. A foreign observer records a profound, long conversation with Field-Marshal Joseph Pilsudski. Across a quiet Belvedere room and a sky seen through a window, the tense moments blend with warmth, humor, and a powerful sense of duty. The book captures a leader who is at once a romanticist and a realist, whose strength grows in weakness and who grapples with Poland’s place in a turbulent Europe.
This edition presents a personal account of a pivotal meeting, exploring what the leader believes about Poland, Russia, and the future of Europe. It delves into big questions about courage, faith, and the balance between vision and reality, without turning to easy answers. The author reflects on the gravity of political choices and the idea that great action hinges on moral measure and spiritual purpose.
