A review by dale_kooyenga
The Gulag Archipelago, Abridged Edition by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
5.0
Stephen King couldn’t match the horrors inflicted in this book. The detailed account of the Soviet Gulag system is beyond my original understanding of the scope of depravity Stalin inflicted on his fellow countrymen, women and children.
I am glad I read the abridged versions. Three detailing the faces of the Gulags is a huge service to history but more than I would of wanted to fill my brain and time with considering the opportunity costs of reading other books on my to read list.
The author is a hero and he has served history well.
