The WARSAW CONSPIRACY

by James Conroyd Martin


The author will attend the meeting


From GoodReads: " ......Engaging and opulent, THE WARSAW CONSPIRACY unfolds as a family saga set against the November Rising (1830-1831), partitioned Poland’s daring challenge to the Russian Empire. "

From the Amazon website: ".....Brilliantly illustrating the psyche of a people determined to reclaim independence from Russia in the face of monumental odds, The Warsaw Conspiracy features two brothers and their fates in love and war."

From the Am-Pol Eagle: "....The novel also seamlessly blends the real lives of Chopin, Prince Adam Czartoryski (president of the Polish National Government during the November 1831 uprising against imperial Russia), and Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich of Russia, among other notables...."

From the Cosmopolitan Review: "......Poles and lovers of Central European history will recognize in this trilogy about the Stelnicki family the familiar story of Poland’s struggles against oppressive regimes, specifically the 1794 partition of Poland by Prussia, Austria and Russia (Push Not the River), the 1813 Napoleonic wars (with their implicit promise of freedom for Poland) (Beneath a Crimson Sky), and this volume, The Warsaw Conspiracy about the November Uprising of 1830 (the “cadets’ revolution”)."

From the Bookshop website: "James Conroyd Martin is in every way a modern day Henryk Sienkiewicz, weaving history and stories together in an accessible and thrilling manner." Dr. Donald Pienkos, Political Science Professor Emeritas, UW Milwaukee."
