The subject of the book "Hanging " is the unknown episodes of the Kosciuszko Uprising - the hanging of traitors in Warsaw - and the lost chance of Poles to radically change their history. The Polish and Lithuanian citizens had their Constitution overthrown by Russia and some Polish Magnates that resulted in the second and third Polish Partitions. Some traitors were caught and hung, others were sentenced to death and hung in effigy. This book traces the event which, as Jaroslaw Marek Rymkiewicz claims, could have led to the execution of King Stanislaw August
