	Partisan Review
		Adam Michnik’s contribution to the theory and practice of East European dissidence was overwhelming.
		In several essays, Michnik returns to his early reflections on the destiny of revolutionary values after the victory of anti-communist forces, the impact of nationalism and of various fundamentalisms on democratic transitions, and the moral dilemmas generated by the return of the more or less repentant former communists to government.
		Michnik’s rationale is that one cannot engage in roundtable negotiations with the communists only to abandon the logic of mutual restraint at the moment "our side" triumphs.

		In an opening essay and two remarkable letters addressed to Adam Michnik, who is arguably East Europe's emblematic democratic intellectual, Katznelson seeks to recover this possibility.
		By examining issues that once occupied Michnik's fellow dissidents in the Warsaw group known as the Crooked Circle, Katznelson brings a fresh realism to old ideals and posits a liberalism that "stares hard" at cruelty, suffering, coercion, and tyrannical abuses of state power.
		Like the members of Michnik's club, he recognises that the circumference of liberalism's circle never runs smooth and that tolerance requires extremely difficult judgments.

		In the most striking interview, Michnik sits down for a chat with his old archenemy, the general who imposed military government in 1981, Wojciech Jaruzelski.
