"An utterly devastating portrait of the inner circle of power in Poland immediately after the Second World War, "Them" reveals for the first time the inside story of the rise of communism in that country.  From a series of lively and provocative interviews with five of the highest officials in Stalinist Poland from 1945 to 1956 emerges a riveting account of cowardice, corruption, and grotesque servility to Soviet masters" [from the dust jacket]
