Lech Walesa’s 500-page autobiography Droga do Prawdy (The Way to the Truth) will be published this month.

The former president and Solidarity legend added, in the last minute before publication, an extra chapter to confront the accusations made by historians at the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) claiming that he was involved with the Polish Secret Police (SB) as a double agent in the 1970s under the code name “Bolek”.

“The [accusations] are a bunch of crap. I cleared up several situations […] I fought as best I could and gave everything of myself,” the famous Pole told Dziennik.

The most important part of the book, according to Pawel Szwed, the chief editor of Swiat Ksiazki, the autobiography’s publisher, is the fragment in which Walesa refers to his contacts with the secret services. Szwed says that, “Walesa hasn’t written anything that he hasn’t publicly stated. He doesn’t say whether he was or was not a double-agent. He does not affirm nor admit his guilt.”

The book will reveal, for the first time, however, the details of his negotiations with Boris Yeltsin regarding the Soviet Army presence in Poland in the early 1990s. Szwed adds that this segment of the book is amazing, written as though one were a fly on the wall during the negotiations.

The book will also contain a CD with film fragments from the beginning of the 1980’s and from the most important moments in Lech Walesa’s life.

Walesa has yet to decide to whom to dedicate the book, stating that, “I have many people who deserve a dedication.”

Walesa recognizes that he is not the author of the book, many contributed to the gather of information, he simply checked everything to make sure it was true. The former president also notes that he didn’t come up with the idea of writing his autobiography.
