Review: "Ostatni bunt. Młodzieżowa opozycja u schyłku PRL, 1980–1990"/ Marek Wierzbicki. Lublin: IPN, 2013. ISBN 978-83-7629-429-2
- Ostatni bunt [The Last Rebellion] is Marek Wierzbicki's most recent book dealing with Polish youth under communist rule. It tackles the specific problem of youth opposition to communism during the regime's final decade of existence. The book represents a first attempt at an in-depth historical discussion and analysis of the subject, which thus far has been mostly absent in the narrative. The importance of the topic is due to the fact that—as the author emphasises—in this period at least four hundred youth organisations, groups, and movements at schools and universities were politically active beyond the control of the regime. There would never again be such a degree of politicisation and activity among Poland's youth after the demise of communism.
