Drawing on the latest research, Butterwick vividly portrays the turbulence the Commonwealth experienced. Far from seeing it as a failed state, he shows the ways in which it overcame the stranglehold of Russia and briefly regained its sovereignty, the crowning success of which took place on 3 May 1791--the passing of the first Constitution of modern Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Butterwick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 030025220X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300252200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.70d","brand":"Richard Butterwick","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43978499850495,"sku":"9780300252200","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e29168a5-7764-493a-8cc4-43e1a093215e.jpg?v=1683241886","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-polish-lithuanian-commonwealth-1733-1795-richard-butterwick-9780300252200","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
