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.

That was probably “Gulag.” by Anne Applebaum.
A complete overview of the gulag system but not
as many first person accounts as I would have liked,
not that there are that many survivors.

Another good book is Kolyma by Conquest or
other books about Magadan, the transfer point
to the gold camps. Truely a horror.
