 Battle of Raszyn (1809) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Polish troops under Prince Józef Antoni Poniatowski withstood the Austrian attack on Warsaw defeating them at Radzymin and reconquered parts of former Poland including Kraków and Lwów by beating the Austrians at near the villages of Góra and Grochów.
General Józef Antoni Poniatowski was presented grand-aigle de la Légion d'Honneur, a saber of honour and a lancer's shako for this victory.
However, since the city fortifications were in a very bad shape and the Saxon expeditionary force withdrew towards their homeland, Poniatowski decided to leave Warsaw undefended and withdraw to several fortresses located nearby (most notably to Modlin Fortress and Serock).

 Poniatowski
Prince Jozef Antoni Poniatowski, the nephew of the last king of Poland Stanislaw August Poniatowski, was born and raised in Vienna.
Prince Jozef Poniatowski thus links the past of nobles and elected kings, of which he was a part, with the modern future of national independence, for which he provided whatever continuity was attainable.
Poniatowski counterattacked, leading into the action each of his battalions in turn (Tsar Alexander watched this from one of the nearby hills), but with the rest of the French army was compelled to withdraw toward the city.

 Marshal Joseph-Antoine Ponyatowski
Józef Antoni Poniatowski (May 7, 1763 - October 19, 1813), Polish prince and marshal of France, son of Andrew Poniatowski and the countess Theresa Kinsky, was born at Vienna.
In Napoleon's campaign against Russia in 1812 Poniatowski commanded the fifth army corps; and after the disastrous retreat of the grand army, when many of the Poles began to waver in their allegiance to Napoleon, Poniatowski remained faithful and formed a new Polish army of 13,000 men with which he joined the emperor at Lützen.
Poniatowski heroically defended Leipzig, losing half his corps in the attempt, finally falling back slowly upon the bridge over the Elster which the French in the general confusion blew up before he reached it.

 Post-Partition Era (19th century) - Testament of Prince Jozef Poniatowski
From the beginning of 1812, stocks of food, munitions and fodder were being built up in the Duchy of Warsaw, and its army was entrusted with defending the concentration of the allied troops.
In March 1812, the army of the Duchy of Warsaw was renamed as the Fifth Corps of the Grande Armée, and placed under the command of Prince Józef Poniatowski reporting directly to Maréchal Davout.
Expressive of the hopes of the Polish political elite, a General Confederacy of the Polish Kingdom was constituted on June 26, 1812, meant to represent the entire Polish society in the effort of regaining independence.

 Part I: to 1914
The book jacket reproduces a contemporary, satirical engraving of four monarchs showing their gains on a map of Poland, 1772.
However, it is doubtful that - as the jacket explanation states -  one of them is the unfortunate last King of Poland, Stanislas Augustus Poniatowski, who would have no interest in pointing at eastern Galicia.
The monarch identified as Poniatowski resembles the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa, who is pointing there while her son and heir Joseph points to western Galicia - both taken by Austria in 1772.
