There is a book called “Gulag” by a British writer; it came out about five years ago. It has diary excerpts in it as well as the history of the gulags, and how they affect (ed) the world.
I bought it at Heathrow, and read as much as I could on the way home. Solzhenitsyn’s “Gulag Archipelago” should be read along with “Gulag.” One is from inside, one is from outside.
What a sad legacy.
