Unknown Gulag : The Lost World of Stalin´s Special Settlements

One of Stalin´s most heinous acts was the ruthless repression of millions of peasants in the early 1930s, an act that established the very foundations of the gulag. Solzhenitsyn barely touched upon this brutal episode in his magisterial Gulag Archipelago and subsequent writers passed over the subject in silence. Now, with the opening of Soviet archives, an entirely new dimension of Stalin´s brutality has been uncovered. The Unknown Gulag is the first book in English to explore this untold story.
