The Green Flag: Polish Populist Politics 1867-1970

By Olga A. Narkiewicz

Rowman and Littlefield, 1976, 293 pp.

Not traditional history but an absorbing narrative of the peasant movement in Poland over the past century, based on thorough scholarship and marked by keen judgments and frank opinions. A major point is the persistence of peasant populism as a political factor in present-day Poland.
