"Decades before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine prompted the Polish people’s massive aid to Kyiv, Poland itself endured life under the menacing shadow of the great power to its East. But in August 1980, when Lech Walesa jumped the wall at the Gdansk shipyards to join striking workers, Poland saw the launch of the Solidarity free trade union, which sought to reclaim rights from Soviet-imposed communism. In the months that followed, 10 million Poles embraced the democratic revolution, a feat still echoing today in neighboring Ukraine.. This is the gripping story of Eye On Solidarity. Polish-American journalist Sonya Zalubowski arrived in Warsaw in 1981, holding a student visa and hoping to search for ancestral connections – but most intent on recording the historic moment. Working underground in a nation reeling from shortages as Moscow squeezed supplies, she reported on the Poles’ hardships and fortitude and smuggled her stories out by diplomatic pouch via a sympathetic diplomat at the U.S. Embassy. The pace of events quickened – with Solidarity staging a national warning strike even as Soviet tanks rolled across Polish borders in military exercises. Zalubowski’s reporting became more open, putting her in jeopardy of being found out by the dreaded secret police." --Amazon.

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.

In 1980 Polish workers astonished the world by demanding and winning an independent union with the right to strike, called Solidarity--the beginning of the end of the Soviet empire. Jack M. Bloom's Seeing Through the Eyes of the Polish Revolution explains how it happened, from the imposition to Communism to its end, based on 150 interviews of Solidarity leaders, activists, supporters and opponents. Bloom presents the perspectives and experiences of these participants. He shows how an opposition was built, the battle between Solidarity and the ruling party, the conflicts that emerged within each side during this tense period, how Solidarity survived the imposition of martial law and how the opposition forced the government to negotiate itself out of power.

Durkheim, in his very role as a "founding father" of a new social science has become like a figure in an old religious painting, enshrouded in myth and encrusted in layers of thick, impenetrable varnish. This book undertakes detailed, up-to-date investigations of Durkheim's work in an effort to restore its freshness and reveal it as originally created. These investigations explore his particular ideas, within an overall narrative of his initial problematic search for solidarity, how it became a quest for the sacred, and how, at the end of his life, he embarked on a project for a new great work on ethics. A theme running through this is his concern with a modern world in crisis and a hope in social and moral reform. Accordingly, the book concludes with a set of essays on modern times and on a crisis that Durkheim thought would pass but which now seems here to stay.
