Editorial Reviews

He was one of the great figures of dissent during the dissolution of the Soviet empire. Like many of the former Soviet-Bloc leaders of his generation, he has not fared as well in the new political climate. While Lech Walesa became president of Poland, he is best known as the founder of the Solidarity movement. One of the first visible signals of the weakening of the Soviet Union, Solidarity's started as an illegal worker's organization. Less than a decade later it was the most important political party in the nation. From his first demonstrations to losing his re-election bid in 1995, BIOGRAPHY® documents his remarkable political career. At every step, we'll hear from those who lived and worked aside Walesa, while footage documents the pivotal moments in his life.
