London: G. Allen & Unwin, 1921. Cloth. 8vo. 132 pages. Originally published in Polish. It was intended to foreshadow the history of Danzig prior to its expected incorporation into Poland, something which did not eventuate. “Askenazy studied at the universities of Warsaw and Goettingen and taught modern history at the University of Lemberg from 1897 to 1914, the last seven years as professor. During World War I he was a member of the Polish National Council in Switzerland. After the establishment of an independent Poland he served as its first representative at the League of Nations until 1923, when the National Democratic government dismissed him from his post because he was a Jew. In 1929 he discovered manuscripts relating to Napoleon, which he published under the title RMkopisy Napoleona, 1793–1795. Askenazy raised a generation of students of Polish history who came to hold prominent positions in their country's cultural and political life. In 1912 a quarterly journal for the study of Jewish history in Poland, Kwartalnik pocwiMcony badaniu przescGocci 'Zyd\w w Polsce, was founded on his initiative. As a Jew, he was regarded as a spokesman for the assimilationists” (Nathan Michael Gelber in EJ) . SUBJECT(S) : World War, 1914-1918 - Territorial questions - Poland. Some bumping to edges and spine.
