Book Description
Surprisingly little known, the Polish-Soviet War of 1919-20 was to change the course of twentieth-century history. In White Eagle, Red Star, Norman Davies gives a full account of the War, with its dramatic climax in August 1920 when the Red Army - sure of victory and pledged to carry the Revolution across Europe to 'water our horses on the Rhine' - was crushed by a devastating Polish attack. Since known as the 'miracle on the Vistula', it remains one of the most decisive battles of the Western world. Drawing on both Polish and Russian sources, Norman Davies illustrates the narrative with documentary material which hitherto has not been readily available and shows how the War was far more an 'episode' in East European affairs, but largely determined the course of European history for the next twenty years or more.

Book Description
In 1944, the Nazis razed Warsaw’s historic Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. “They knew that the strength of the Polish nation was rooted in the Cross, Christ’s Passion, the spirit of the Gospels, and the invincible Church,” argued Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński in a letter celebrating the building’s subsequent reconstruction. “To weaken and destroy the nation, they knew they must first deprive it of its Christian spirit.” Wyszynski insisted that Catholicism was an integral component of Polish history, culture, and national identity. The faithfulness of the Polish people fortified them during times of trial and inspired much that was noble and good in their endeavors. Filling a sizable gap in the literature, White Eagle, Black Madonna is a systematic study of the Catholic Church in Poland and among the Polish diaspora. Polish Catholicism has not been particularly well understood outside of Poland, and certainly not in the Anglophone world, until now. Demonstrating an unparalleled mastery of the topic, Robert E. Alvis offers an illuminating vantage point on the dynamic tension between centralization and diversity that long has characterized the Catholic Church’s history. Written in clear, concise, accessible language, the book sheds light on the relevance of the Polish Catholic tradition for the global Catholic Church, a phenomenon that has been greatly enhanced by Pope John Paul II, whose theology, ecclesiology, and piety were shaped profoundly by his experiences in Poland, and those experiences in turn shaped the course of his long and influential pontificate. Offering a new resource for understanding the historical development of Polish Catholicism, White Eagle, Black Madonna emphasizes the people, places, events, and ritual actions that have animated the tradition and that still resonate among Polish Catholics today. From the baptism of Duke Mieszko in 966 to the controversial burial of President Lech Kaczyński in 2010, the Church has accompanied the Polish people during their long and often tumultuous history. While often controversial, Catholicism’s influence over Poland’s political, social, and cultural life has been indisputably profound.

Book Description
Chakras, auras, subtle bodies offers a remarkably comprehensive guide to its subject, both to the student of ancient wisdom and to the follower of White Eagle's remarkable teaching--coming as it does from the subtle world itself. chakras, auras, subtle bodies can also be used as a guide to spiritual unfoldment, for it shows how a steady development of awareness--one that begins, always, in the heart chakra--brings the subtle body to life. In chakra terms, says White Eagle, the purpose of life through many incarnations is to create, fully, what he calls 'the solar body'. As its name implies, this is larger and greater than the physical body as the sun is to the earth, and it shines with a corresponding joyous light. It is the body that exists in the Oneness, not in separation but in ever more perfect being, 'as the dewdrop slips into the shining sea'. Meditation is indeed a way to create the solar body, but White Eagle also tells us how important is work on earth - what he often refers to as 'service'. Service exists simply in living our lives on earth, but it can be enhanced in all sorts of ways. The second half of chakras, auras, subtle bodies is something of a workbook, in that it gives not only meditations but other exercises and suggestions which will help us bring the light of the heart into the other chakras, one by one, through meditation, insights and specific practices. Destined to become one of White Eagle's most popular books, chakras, auras, subtle bodies is unique in its contribution to a whole field of devotion and study.
