"...Because Pomerania would be at the center of many disputes between Germans and Poles in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, modern nationalists on both sides have frequently misrepresented the region’s medieval history. Milliman attempts to move beyond these problematic historiographical traditions by returning to the medieval sources. In the process, he provides a far more detailed and nuanced narrative of Pomerania’s medieval history than has ever appeared before in English, and he also calls attention to a variety of underutilized fourteenth-
century sources for the study of memory and identity formation in this pivotal frontier region."
