Szydlowski argues that the Vandals, traditionally viewed as a Germanic tribe, had significant connections with the territories and ethnic groups that later became identified as Polish.
This book examines various historical, linguistic, and archaeological evidence to support its claims, presenting an alternative view of the migration and cultural history of the Polish people.
The book should be noted for its controversial stance, as it challenges traditional classifications of ancient tribes and their modern descendants.

Szydlowski's arguments are intriguing and provoke discussion about the identity and historical origins of the Polish people.
While the book should be praised for its bold hypothesis and thorough research, it is also met with skepticism by some historians who caution against simplistic or revisionist interpretations of complex historical migrations and cultural identities.
"Wandalowie czyli Polacy" is recommended for those interested in alternative historical theories and the early medieval history of Europe. It offers a fresh perspective, but readers should also consider other scholarly work to better understand this debated topic.
