The History of the Polish Legions in Italy

Using personal documents and primary sources which are contained in this work, Leonard Chodzko wrote one of the first histories of the Polish Legions in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. This is the seminal work on the subject, from which all other works start. It traces the history of the Legions from the fall of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the rise of its leader – Jan Henryk Dąbrowski. Originally published in French, in 1829 as two volumes, we have combnied them into one big volume. This is the most recent translation of this work into English in the past fifty years
