Has anyone read Freedom Climbers: the Golden Age of Polish Climbing? It is supposed to be quite good and I'm thinking of picking it up.
Most climbing books are specific to one area, timespan or person.
I just finished this...its excellent. All about Polish climbers in the latter half of the 20th century while living under the Iron Curtain - http://www.amazon.com/Freedom-Climbers-Golden-Climbing-Legends/dp/1594857563
