Summary/Abstract: The publication, spearheaded by Prof. Tomasz Ochinowski and Prof. Izabella Łęcka of the Faculty of Management, was prepared by an impressive team of young researchers, students hailing from a range of the University’s programmes, who not only carried out interviews with heroes of the Martial Law but also undertook to transcribe and annotate the material. The volume features accounts from: Maryla Kiersnowska, Andrzej Kaczanowski, Jerzy Kwaśniewski, Barbara Malak-Minkiewicz, Lech Mankiewicz, Anna Owczarek, Anna Radziejowska-Hilchen, Joanna Papis, Jan Rempała, Julian Srebrny, Jerzy Siedlecki, Jerzy Szatyłowicz, Zuzanna Toeplitz, Ryszard Zieliński and Mariusz Ziółkowski. The very list of names shows that the young researchers and their mentors aimed to go beyond the most notable participants of the dramatic events unleashed on 13 December 1981 by General Wojciech Jaruzelski and his communist associates.
