Michael Dobbs from the Washington Post says that “ultimate judgement of Jaruzelski has to be rather nuanced – it’s shades of grey rather than black and white.”
For the 30th anniversary of the imposition of martial law, Polish Radio interviews Michael Dobbs, correspondent for the Washington Post in Warsaw between 1980 and 1982.
Micheal Dobbs recalls soon after the crackdown on 13 December 1981 he headlined an article: Jaruzelski: hero or traitor?
For the correspondent, the general, who led communist Poland during the 1980s, was “something in between” and that “ultimate judgement of Jaruzelski has to be rather nuanced – it’s shades of grey, rather than black and white." (jb)
