About This Book

The so-called 'people's power' – the communists – tended to make Poles afraid. At first – afraid of the Anglo-Saxon imperialists, then of the German revisionists, Zionist 5th column and 'Kuro? and Michnik walking on the CIA's leash'. The creation of the atmosphere of fear featuring Germans and their alleged 'return' lasted until 1970. In his Fear Management Bruno Kami?ski reaches to the origins of this story. Based on a huge selection of sources this analytical study exhibits how in the first 15 postwar years Poles were threatened with the Western world. In the beginning, the Germans were chosen to play the role of the main enemy, dethroned later by the Americans. At the same time, the author proves that fear next to nationalism and ethnic hostility developed into one of the pillars legitimizing the communist system.
