Carl Tighe aims to open up a debate about nationalism in Poland by examining some of the processes of history in one small but important place. Gdansk and its locality was where World War II started, where Solidarity was formed and where contemporary change is focused. Throughout its history the town has been a major site of exchange between East and West, and as such its own history provides valuable insights into the tensions and processes which have shaped modern Europe. The first section of the book traces the city's history from 8000 BC to 1918: the arrival of Slav and Germanic tribes, urban growth in response to the grain trade, the widening rift between Eastern Europe and a rapidly industrializing West, Germanization and the coming of the Nazis. The second section looks at the period from 1918-45: Nazi exploitation, genocide, kidnapping of "racially valuable" Polish children, the destruction of the city in 1945, Russian and Polish intervention, and attempts to destroy the German identity. Section 3 looks at Post-War perspectives: the reconstruction of the city, its integration into the Polish state and it's meaning as a place to both Poland and West Germany, Gdansk has made history, but history has also been made for it, by rival German and Polish national interests. Tighe uses the history of Gdansk as a way into examining the formation of the modern nations which surround it.

Relates Walesa's rise from the Gdansk shipyard to the presidency and chronicles the history of Solidarity

The Nobel Prize-winning Polish Solidarity leader's memoirs vividly recount harsh farm life in Eastern Poland, oppressed working conditions in the Baltic port of Gdansk, and the hard-won achievements of the Solidarity trade union movements

The author was with the strikers in the Lenin Shipyard in Gdansk. He witnessed the defiance of the workers and the emergence of an improbable leader and hero in Lech Walesa. This book, therefore, acts as an eyewitness account of the occurances cited but also it provides an analysis of the powers ranged against Solidarity and of their pyrrhic victory. The author describes Solidarity's long underground struggle, its triumphant return in 1989 and the ironies of its subsequent disintegration.

The former Polish electrician tells of his rise from the Gdansk shipyard to the presidency, chronicles the history of Solidarity, and explains how he thinks Poland should react to the changing political climate.

An American tourist in Europe stopped at a restaurant in Gdansk, Poland, and struck up a conversation with a local. "Where do you come from?" he asked. "New Jersey," she said. He smiled and replied, "Ah, Sopranos!"Even fans of that popular show, one that held viewers captive, may be a bit disheartened to discover that the first thing that pops into minds around the world about New Jersey is a dysfunctional crime family, just an exit or two off the infamous N.J. Turnpike. But there's no need to live in fear that the only culture and history that the state is known for is, well, let's say, a bit of bada bing. Actually, the echo of the Big Bangùthe cosmic event that marked the birth of our universe some 13.7 billion years agoùwas first identified by scientists from Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New Jersey.In this lively romp through history from the primitive past to the present day, Marc Mappen's message resonatesùThere's More to New Jersey than the Sopranos. Real tales, wise tales, tall tales abound throughout the pages of Mappen's collection, filled with zest, humor, scandal, and occasionally tragedy. Annie Oakley. Ulysses S. Grant. Benedict Arnold. Ezra Pound. Shoeless Joe Jackson. These luminaries and many others share a common bond with the state that witnessed prehistoric elephants roaming its pastures, the explosion on the USS Princeton, a Martian invasion, famous firsts like the phonograph, electric light, and movies, and, well, step aside Tony Soprano: mobster Al Capone strolling along the Atlantic City boardwalk.Providing a lens into American history through lively prose and more than twenty-five illustrations, There's More to New Jersey than the Sopranos is as much fun as a trip to the Jersey Shore and definitely more rewarding than a night home watching televisionù simply stated, this book is one you can't refuse to read.

FAR FROM POLAND portrays the birth of the Solidarity movement at the Gdansk shipyards through moving personal testimony and a chilling look at the psychology of a censor.
