A guy I know scanned it.
Szymanski, who argued in prior books against claims that the USSR and Eastern Europe were state-capitalist, tries to explain how a group like Solidarity could arise in a socialist country and what policies the Polish party and government pursued which led to such a situation.
It also contains chapters on Yugoslavia (since many Solidarity members spoke approvingly of its economic system) and Afghanistan (in regards to questions of Soviet intervention in other countries, which many in the early 80s feared would occur in Poland.)
His other books:
