The inside story of the Solidarity movement by the man who made it happen. Walesa draws a detailed portrait of his rise from the Gdansk shipyards to become the first freely elected president of Poland. He tells of his wife, his rabble rousing and the eventual support he received from politicians and celebrities. Not one to take all the credit, he discusses the great influence of the three visits by Pope John Paul and deals candidly with Poland's history of anti-Semitism. It's an altogether moving book by a working class hero.  (PLD05, $20.99)
