From the history of the Polish anti-communist resistance.
The Polish opposition in the 1980s took various forms. The most important movement was the independent trade union Solidarity, which the historian Karol Modzelewski wrote about in his memoir Riding the Mare of History.
The second was Fighting Solidarity, described in the book The Fortress by journalist Igor Janke. The translator and journalist Petruška Šustrová will read about both forms of Polish resistance in her own translations of the works.
