Burning Worm
Carl Tighe
This is an award winning "memoir" of the 70s and 80s in Poland,
mainly during the emergence of Solidarnosc. The conditions of
everyday life are awful. Political events happen but no-one is
sure what they mean, and no-one knows if the Russians will
invade. It opens a window into a well known but little understood
part of recent history. The expose of Polish anti-Semitism was
quite shocking. There are many printing errors, but Rory still
enjoyed the book and recommended it.
