good books that talk about the Partitions of Poland in the later half of the 18th century
You can start with:
- Robert Howard Lord's
The second partition of Poland: a study in diplomatic, 1915 - I know it, it's good indeed but some remarks on the first partition I disagree.
- Herbert H. Kaplan's
The first partition of Poland, 1962 - I haven't read it yet.
- Baron George Shaw-Lefevre Eversley's
The partitions of Poland, 1915 - some way old
- Jerzy Lukowski's
The partitions of Poland: 1772, 1793, 1795, 1999 - not read
... and then maybe something in Polish.
or feel free to ask for some details here.
