In August 1980, workers occupied the Lenin Shipyard in Gdansk and won from their communist rulers the right to form independent trades unions a concession unprecendented in the history of the communist world. In this eyewitness account, Timothy Garton Ash describes the defiance of the strikers, the emergence of an improbable leader in Lech Walesa and the events culminating in the declaration of martial law. His lucid and profound analysis explores key questions such as: Why did the revolutionhappen in Poland? What was the relationship between Solidarity and the communist regime? What changes did it bring about in the whole Soviet bloc? How did the West react to Solidarity?
