Description

Wladyslaw Gomulka was a key player within Polish politics for over four decades and one of the most influential of the East European Communist Party leaders. As the architect of the Polish road to socialism, he claimed for Poland the right to define its own model of economic and political development, yet he was nevertheless committed to Polands membership of the Soviet bloc. Anita Prazmowska here traces Gomulkas progression from a poorly educated worker in the Krosno district of Poland, to his election as First Party Secretary in 1956 and finally to his forced resignation in 1970. She considers Gomulkas pivotal role in building a communist-led resistance in occupied Poland during World War II as well as the critical part he played in post-war Polish politics and the de-Stalinization process. Incorporating recently released and previously unpublished sources, this book provides a vivid picture of how Communism functioned in Poland and an original analysis of Polands international role in the Cold War era.
