Jack M. Bloom's Seeing Through the Eyes of the Polish Revolution explains how it happened, from the imposition to Communism to its end, based on 150 interviews of Solidarity leaders, activists, supporters and opponents. Bloom presents the perspectives and experiences of these participants. He shows how an opposition was built, the battle between Solidarity and the ruling party, the conflicts that emerged within each side during this tense period, how Solidarity survived the imposition of martial law and how the opposition forced the government to negotiate itself out of power.Historical materialism book series ;50.Political activistsPolandInterviewsInterviewsPolandAnti-communist movementsPolandHistory20th centuryRevolutionsPolandHistory20th centuryOpposition (Political science)PolandHistory20th centurySocial conflictPolandHistory20th centuryPolandPolitics and government1980-1989PolandSocial conditions1980-1989Electronic books.Political activistsInterviewsAnti-communist movementsHistoryRevolutionsHistoryOpposition (Political science)HistorySocial conflictHistory943.805/6Bloom Jack M968197MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453053603321Seeing through the eyes of the Polish Revolution2199074UNINA02282oam 2200421 450 991014017580332120230621140103.0(CKB)2670000000497767(NjHacI)992670000000497767(EXLCZ)99267000000049776720191103c2013uuuu u| 0enguza|#---uuuuutxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierJohn C.
