Description
A splendid hour with a man who was at the heart of the Polish resistance in 1980-81 and who knows how to tell the story--both of what went on then and of what was still, though on a much smaller scale, going on six years later. PM: "The first reactions of the West [to Solidarity] were extremely cautious, and I felt that the West went left, right, and center assuring everybody who wanted to hear or who didn't want to hear that they had nothing to do with Solidarity." WFB: "Did you want to hear that?" PM: "I think, quite frankly, at that time, yes. It was a good thing for the West to say. We were trying, we had to prove to the Polish government... that we were a genuine indigenous movement."
