This paper offers a critical appraisal of the image of Poland and Poles as it appears in Brit ish university textbooks and syllabi for students opting to study business, economics, - psychology, and social sciences with respect to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Authors of university textbooks have considered all the most signicant historical, political and social events in reference to Poland in modern times, right up to the present. The present study analyses presentations and interpretations of selected events and processes, including the functioning of the apparatus of state in seventeenth-century Poland, the unprecedented power of the Polish aristocracy and lesser nobility, the impact of World War II, the phenomenon of the Polish Government in Exile, the process of the sovietisation of Poland, and the transformation and synthesis of communism
