Original Review of Polish Communism in Crisis:
‘Extensively documented with official and unofficial Polish sources, and the best of Western reporting, the book is a welcome scholarly analysis of events that heretofore have been the subject of mostly journalistic and first-person accounts.’ David S. Mason, Slavic Review Vol 43, Issue 2 (1984).
