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 Poland's membership of the Soviet bloc. Anita
Prazmowska here traces Gomulka's 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 Gomulka's 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previously unpublished sources, this book provides a vivid picture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
Poland's international role in the Cold War era.
