The Deposit of Independence. National Council of the Republic of Poland in Exile (1939-1991)

The reviewed publication contains post-conference materials, presented during the conference held in 2016 in Warsaw, entitled "The Deposit of Independence. National Council of the Republic of Poland in Exile (1939-1991)". The volume consists of 18 articles, published in chronological and topical order, devoted to the selected issues of the history of the Polish parliamentarianism in exile during World War II and in the post-war period. The authors of the articles discussed various aspects of the activities of the National Council of the Republic of Poland in Exile, such as the participation of national minorities in the work of the quasi-parliament, biographies of the chosen parliamentarians, or the selected elements of "parliamentary practices". This publication is not a synthesis but it supplements and develops the current state of research on the activities of the Polish quasi-parliamentary institutions in exile.
