book "The Days of Solidarity"
The events which took place in Poland in August 1980 were a turning point in the history of post-war Europe. The breach in the previously united Soviet bloc which took place at that time marked the beginning of the end for the bloc. Those eighteen days of fateful August (14th to 31st) are like a time capsule.
