Reviews

The book would be very helpful to all scholars interested in the modern political and social history of Poland. ... The book will help readers to understand the many dimensions of the relationships between Church, state, and society in post-communist Poland. It is an important addition to the field of east and central European studies. (Andrew Savchenko, Slavic Review, Vol. 78, 2019)
