James Minahan, On Europe, Many nations-used to claim"In the tenth
century, Pomerelia was settled by Slavic Pomeranians, ancestors of the
Kashubians, which were subdued by Boleslaw I of Poland. In the
eleventh century, they created an independent duchy"

The author is not a scholar and this raises the question on
reliability of such extreme claim of "independent duchy".
In fact he presents himself as "independent researcher"
http://www.greenwood.com/catalog/author/M/James_B._Minahan.aspx

And the favourite phrasing of Skapperod how "Poland conquered and
subdued"  should perhaps be shortened  to more neutral one-perhaps
"became part of Poland after efforts of Boleslaw" ?

Second point

"Polish-born Professor Lewis Bernstein Namier "
Lewis Bernstein Namier  was neither Polish born(as currently stated)
nor Pole-he was born in Austro-Hungary and Jewish. In fact he is
considered a bit of anti-Polish but don't say that to Skapperod or
Matthead-we don't wan't to give them more ammo...

The map of Polish population described as :
"Polish population in 1918, by the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Was not issued by Polish Ministry and is not from 1918, It is from
Geograficzno-Statystyczny Atlas Polski, Eugeniusz Romer,1921
