About this ebook
This is a somewhat strange story of the transition of one mind from communist subjugation to freedom. It all happened in Poland in the years of 1963 to 1983. The road to liberation was rather convoluted and peppered with unexpected twists and turns. It takes the reader on an unusual trip through late 20th century history.
