«Lviv. The End of Illusions is a highly professional historical non-fiction book, the first and unique study of the pogrom of the Jewish population of Lviv, which was organised by Polish soldiers in November 1918, in terms of its reliability and the scope of the material covered.

For a century, Polish historiography, in particular for political reasons, described this tragic event as a series of ordinary criminal offences committed in the chaos of war by Ukrainian and even Jewish bandits and deserters from the Austrian army.

Grzegorz Gauden challenges this interpretation and convincingly argues that the wave of Jewish pogroms with which Poland greeted its independence was not accidental at all.
