An interesting book written in Albania (and translated into English) in 1983 on the struggles between the capitalist, revisionist/pro-Soviet government of Poland and the capitalist, pro-Western Solidarity trade union. Also contains some information on the early years of the Polish Communists, and a history of things leading up to the 1980-81 protests.

Its conclusion is obviously "The proletariat must arise and bring forth socialism by overthrowing the revisionist dictatorship and exposing Solidarity," etc. Still, should be of some interest.

Like we can believe anything that spawned the claim that the 'trusted' Prime Minister Mehmet Shehu was working for the CIA, the KGB and the Yugoslav secret service all at the same time - and 'committed suicide' when he demanded that Hoxha retire and hand over the reins of power to him.

Enver Hoxha didn't write the work, so any criticisms of the domestic politics of Albania are irrelevant to this topic.
