The volume contains 57 critically elaborated documents which have not, with the exception of one, been previously published. The documents present contemporary events in a new light. Apart from the material created by particular departments of the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs, the volume contains, among others, protocols and minutes of meetings of the
Provincial Committee of the Polish United Workers Party (KW PZPR) in Radom, orders and information released by the Committee, and reports of the Provincial Public Prosecutor's
Office.
Workers' riots which originally had a purely economic basis were transformed into social and political protests. In 24 provinces, in 97 production sites, strikes broke out. Over 71 000 people participated in the riots. In Radom, Ursus and Płock street demonstrations took place. In Radom alone the Ministry of Internal Affairs employed 1543 policemen and special
motorised militia forces (ZOMO) and a few hundred of civil Ministry officials to pacify the revolts.
