Poland's Self-Limiting Revolution
Opis
The most detached and critical portrait of the Polish revolution comes, significantly, not from a Western observer, but from a Pole--and a participant in the events at that. Jadwiga Staniszkis . . . has put her personal commitments aside and approached Solidarity with a coolly sociological eye. Staniszkis is interested mostly in the dynamics of two power structures locked in inevitable combat. The result of this approach is often chillingly impersonal. Yet it provides us with a much more balanced, analytic view of both sides of theGreat Divide than we customarily get. -- Newsweek
