Summary "The White Eagle of Poland" by E. F. Benson is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century, specifically around the time of World War I. The book focuses on the intricate political and social dynamics surrounding the reconstruction of an independent Polish state after the war against the Central Powers. It discusses the significance of Poland's independence as crucial to the geopolitical balance in Europe and highlights the aspirations of Polish patriots to reunify the nation. At the start of this work, the author presents a preface that outlines the two main parts of the book. The first part discusses the historical context of Poland’s partitions and the influence of international politics on its sovereignty, emphasizing the necessity of a strong Polish state as a buffer to German expansionist policies. The opening content reflects on the European view of Poland prior to the war, acknowledging the lack of awareness about its geographical and cultural significance and introduces the notion that the resolution of Poland’s plight is a critical factor for global peace and stability.
