Czech intellectuals such as Vaclav Havel, and, later, Polish workers and intellectuals such as Lech Walesa and Adam Michnik, seem to Judt altogether more serious, and among the pleasures of Postwar is Judt's lucid history of the unraveling of Eastern-bloc communism. It wasn't speeches by himself or Ronald Reagan or the pope that ended the Cold War, it was the heroic deeds of Lech Walesa and the nonviolent Poles.
