Henri Simon captures the drama, the hopes and disappointments of workers’ rebellions in Polish industrial cities in the early 1980s. This is a document of politicians practicing their skill at manipulation and cuts through all the pre-conceived notions and propaganda (both capitalist and Soviet) to deliver a detailed account and analysis of the workers' struggles. It contains an examination of the factors that led to a rank-and-file workers' movement in Poland that struggled to win a greater share of the surplus value being taken away from them by the state-capitalist ruling class of Poland eventually leading to new organizational forms for production and distribution.
