Title: This is a pop-history book
Product review: Kurlansky's commendable attempt to analyze turmoils of 1968 fails because of his unobjective leftist bias, and lack of deep background historical knowledge about the countries where the events took place. His claim that after World War II, communists in Poland built "from the rubble of society that became a nightmare" a society "of greater social justice" is simply historically incorrect. His obvious anti-Polish sentiments allow him to say, without pointing to any sources, things that are manipulation of history.A writer who picks a historical topic that in itself may guarantee a bestseller book, has a basic obligation to follow truth.
