Seeing Through the Eyes of the Polish Revolution
In 1980 Polish workers astonished the world by demanding and winning an independent union with the right to strike, called Solidarity--the beginning of the end of the Soviet empire. 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.
Poland and European Integration
Today's Euroscepticism contrasts sharply with the idealism of the thousands of Poles thrust out of their country after 1939 by war, occupation and communism. How could a future Poland find security and progress, but by membership in a union of European states? This book explores how Poles in exile attempted to shape opinion in Poland and the West.
Transformation of Cities in Central and Eastern Europe
Annotation This volume is one in a series initiated by the United Nations University Institute of Advanced Studies on the inter-relationship between globalisation and urban transformation. It identifies and describes the inter- and intra-urban transformations of Central and Eastern European cities and considers their pre-1945 historic legacies, the socialist period, and their contemporary transition towards market oriented and democratic systems.

Cichociemni. Elita polskiej dywersji
"Było ich 300. Najlepiej wyszkoleni sabotażyści w historii. Byli gotowi poświęcić wszystko w dla idei „Wywalcz Polsce wolność lub zgiń!” Doskonale wyszkoleni, bezgranicznie odważni, desperacko zdeterminowani, bezkompromisowi. Najlepsi z najlepszych - starannie wyselekcjonowani spośród tysięcy kandydatów. Musieli porzucić wszystko, zapomnieć, kim byli, bez słowa opuścić kobiety, które kochali. Poddani morderczemu szkoleniu, przygotowywali się, aby w pojedynkę zmienić bieg historii. Zrzuceni na spadochronach do okupowanej Polski, podejmowali samobójcze misje. Nieliczni, którzy przeżyli, trafili po wojnie do piekła komunistycznych więzień. Jednak nigdy się nie poddali. Do końca marzyli o wolnej Polsce. Prawdziwe losy polskich bohaterów, równie facynujące jak historie o amerykańskich komandosach. "
