“BEST NONFICTION BOOK OF THE 20TH CENTURY.” —Time

Volume 2 of the Nobel Prize-winner’s towering masterpiece: the story of Solzhenitsyn's entrance into the Soviet prison camps, where he would remain for nearly a decade. Features a new foreword by Anne Applebaum.

“The greatest and most powerful single indictment of a political regime ever leveled in modern times.” —George F. Kennan

“It is impossible to name a book that had a greater effect on the political and moral consciousness of the late twentieth century.” —David Remnick, The New Yorker

“Solzhenitsyn’s masterpiece. . . . The Gulag Archipelago helped create the world we live in today.” —Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Gulag: A History, from the foreword

Elegant description of a brutal period in Russia that destroyed and buried centuries of rich Russian culture. This certainly sheds light on current life and politic in modern Russia. It is also a stark warning for those that would bury Western Liberalism in favor of socialism and woke-ism.

Enlightening.
