Wojciech Jaruzelski decided it could no longer tolerate Solidarity's unprecedented and increasingly bold challenge to Communist rule amid widespread economic distress and persistent demands from the Soviet Union to firm up the "weak link" in the Warsaw Pact chain...
Overall, the President deserves high marks for jettisoning the deceptive-basing Multiple Protective Shelter system for the MX missile, a bold act which opens the way to a proper assessment of the entire strategic posture.

For all his military genius and energy, this bold, danger-loving man does not appear to have given serious thought to the consequences of an early death. He ruled a sprawling network of satrapies largely through the power of his personality. There were no heirs to the empire, though two of his wives were pregnant when he died...
