Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2007

The best book I have read in years! A real eye-opener.
For any who have any nostalgia for the Soviet Union, this book should put it to rest. This book is hard to categorize; it is more than one man's opinion, but less than an objective history. It is, as Solzhenitsyn puts it, "an experiment in literary investigation": a ...
