Reading: First of all the wonderful (Nobel Prize Winning) fiction of Henryk Sienkiewicz especially the excellent modern translation by Kuniczak. (1991) including: - Fire & Sword - Set in the time of the the Cossack Rebellions, late 1640s - The Deluge - Set in the time of the Swedish Invasions, 1650s - Fire in the Step (Colonel W.) The best histories in my opinion are: The Northern Wars, 2000 Robert Frost After the Deluge, Robert Frost Polish Armies 1569-1696, The Polish Way The Memoirs of Jan Pasek, Translated by M. Swiecicka, The Kosciuszko Foundation
