Another album of photographs by one of the most acclaimed European photojournalists, Chris Niedenthal, devoted to a particular period of the Polish history – the martial law. Nearly 200 outstanding pictures present the everyday struggle of civilians and officers – in their humble homes and store queues, at street demonstrations, roadside inspections, or student strikes. Wojciech Jaruzelski announcing the martial law, as visible on a TV screen, an armoured personnel carrier standing in front of the Moskwa Cinema currently playing Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now, slogans written on doors and gates, such as “Your Winter, Our Spring”, and many more touching shots, all making up an album commemorating the time when Polish citizens were witness to and participants of “a time of heavy trials”. A must-read for all enthusiasts of reportage photography.
