The book reconstructs the history of the Polish Scouting and Guiding movement (harcerstwo) after World War II, not from the perspective of particular people who created it, but with regard to the history of organizations, an idea and philosophy of education and life. It is also a story of resistance and rebellion against any authorities’ interference in bringing up as well as a reflection on youth, which leads to the conclusion that raising children and young people should always be politically neutral.
