Anne Applebaum
Pulitzer Prize, General Nonfiction, 2004
The Gulag - a vast array of Soviet concentration camps that held millions of political and criminal prisoners - was a system of repression and punishment that terrorized the entire society, embodying the worst tendencies of Soviet communism. In this magisterial and acclaimed history, Anne Applebaum offers the first fully documented portrait of the Gulag, from its origins in the Russian Revolution, through its expansion under Stalin, to its collapse in the era of glasnost.
Applebaum intimately recreates what life was like in the camps and links them to the larger history of the Soviet Union. Immediately recognized as a landmark and long-overdue work of scholarship, Gulag is an essential book for anyone who wishes to understand the history of the 20th century.

Laura Merlington’s narration is spectacular. So even and so tempered is her voice. #RussianHistory #gulag #Communism #survival #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

And yes the narrator’s pronunciation is atrocious. I don’t speak a word of Russian and even I struggled with her pronunciation. That said her actual voice is very good and if you can just bear with it she’s fine.
Excellent Work
