Alexander Dolgun's Story: An American in the Gulag

AN UNFORGETTABLE TESTAMENT TO HUMAN COURAGE-

In 1948 in Moscow, a young American, Alexander Dolgun, was picked up by the Soviet police, smuggled into prison on charges he was never to know, brutally interrogated during 18 months of physical and psychological torture, and condemned to 25 years in the Soviet labor camps of the infamous Gulag Archipelago. Now, the unmistakably American voice of Alexander Dolgun brings the Gulag and its horror to brutal, searing life. He has written the story of a descent into the Inferno by one who has come back. And he has created an unforgettable document of the immensities of courage and ingenuity that an "ordinary" human being, under siege, can summon up to survive.
