What About Poland?
Dinesh D’Souza’s commentary (“It Was Reagan Who Tore Down That Wall,” Opinion, Nov. 7) fails to recognize the pivotal role Poland played in the fall of Soviet communism.

The Solidarity movement became the impetus for the eventual collapse of communism in all the Soviet bloc countries.
