784 pages-don’t think so. The Gulag Arch... was a lot of dry reading.

So was Anne Applebaum’s book on the same subject.

The novel is a great deal different than the plodding GA. Fascinating picture of late Stalinist Russia ca 1948-50

“The Gulag Arch... was a lot of dry reading.”

But, it was very incisive in portraying dictatorial Marxism for the evil it is. Each word is worthy of reading, least we see the same here in our nation. “The Gulag Archipelago” is a warning to all that are free and wish not the chains of corrupt dictatorial Marxism that kills, commands, robs and enslaves with no recourse for the victim.
