About Cultural Wars Against Poland Book Series
Cultural Wars Against Poland is a popular science historical book series published by the National Centre for Culture in Poland. The series covers the period from the end of the 17th century to the first half of the 20th century. A very rough cover paper strengthens the message of war, roughness and destruction. A torn page motif on the covers is formed by blind stamping. The interior is printed in two colours, black and intense red, with the red accents referring to the colours of the Polish flag. Otabind binding lets each volume open flat for easier reading.

The series covers the period from the end of the 17th century to the first half of the 20th century. The issues discussed in the following volumes make it possible to see the continuity of the anti-Polish narrative and show how the distribution of anti-Polish accents changed depending on the current goals of the partitioning powers.
