Book Review: Kazimierz Łastawski, “The History of European Integration” [Historia integracji europejskiej], Wydawnictwo Adam Marszałek, Toruń 2011, pp. 370

Great historical changes are not as a rule a result of single but long lasting series of events and coincidence of special circumstances. That was the case with the appearance of the European integration. This is how the author presents it in the discussed work. Namely, as a result of a long historical process. It makes the monograph valuable and its purpose is to serve as a scientific explanation of the sources, circumstances, reasons and proceeding of the first integration in the history.
