Abstract
Chociłowski J. Najpierw Polska. Rzecz o Józefie Becku. - Warszawa, 2019. - 256 s. Colonel of artillery and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland in 1932- 1939 Józef Beck (1894-1944) without a doubt was an exceptional figure on the Polish political scene of the interwar twenty years. The book of Jerzy Chociłowski “Poland above all. The Story of Józef Beck” is a manifestation of unremitting interest in the personality of the head of diplomacy. Although the book is described as the “first complete biographical story” about Beck, we find very few new details from the life and biography of the colonel. Chociłowski evaluates Beck’s figure in a completely different way than a number of historians and publicists, such as Terlecki and S. Cat-Mackiewicz, and this is some of the value of his book.
