Om Polen og den polske krise i årene 1980 til 1982 hvor de stadigt mere og mere aktive polske fagforeninger, samlet i Solidaritets-bevægelsen, udførte demonstrationer, strejker og opstande og optrådte meget kritisk overfor de pro-sovjetiske polske magthavere, der som modtræk satte militæret ind, erklærede undtagelsestilstand, internerede de polske fagforeningsledere og ved et militærkup helt overtog magten. Forfatterne gennemgår og analyserer begivenhederne og deres følger, og reaktionerne hos omverdenen, bl.a. de vestlige kommunistpartier.

Timothy Garton Ash was with the strikers in the Lenin Shipyard in Gdansk in August 1980 when the trade union Solidarity was born, in opposition to the Communist government. He witnessed their bravery and defiance and the emergence of an improbable leader and hero in the country's future president, Lech Walesa. This text recreates the ideals and terrors of that time, and exposes the mechanics of oppression of the communist regime.
