## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars
*by S***N on June 27, 2018*

What communists did to Russians was as bad or worse than what Nazis did to Jews.I would add this practical piece of advice: Solzyenitsyn points out that almost all the people hauled away to the Gulag were done so not via forced round-ups of many people at once, but by being picked off by the security forces one by one. In other words, you, the victim, would be stopped in the street, the office, school or in his apartment/flat by one or two men with a car waiting nearby and told, sometimes even politely asked, to "come with us" (remember the scene in Godfather I when Tom Hagen was stopped by "the Turk" while exiting a store after X-Mass shopping and quietly told to "get in the car"?). And you'd go. This method has the virtue of being relatively quiet and hard to notice so that no would be rescuers really noticed the incident and no crowd would ever gather. You went quietly into the night.So, the advice? Always make a BIG stink if anyone tries to take you away. A crowd will gather or someone will record the incident with a phone, perhaps even intervene. Thats your best hope. Someone has to see and bear witness.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The line between good and evil runs down every human heart
*by C***R on April 14, 2018*

Already knew a lot of this history but Gulag is on Jordan Peterson's reading list so.... Gulag is not the story of Aleksandr Solzhenitsy, nor is it a history book- it is much more than that. The real value, and I think a main reason its on JP's list, is in the underlying message that this is not the story of Russia, or the Russian people, or Stalin- or anyone- but of everyone. Every single one of us, every day, in ways big and small, acts in ways that serve to bring forth either a better world, or the hell of the Gulag Archipelago. Be warned, this is some very unpleasant reading. No one wants to think of being imprisoned indefinitely in a "cell" too small even to sit or lie down in, let alone in one with so many bedbugs they are falling off the ceiling and crawling from everywhere, so many you cannot kill them all even if you could stomach the stench. But it will be worth it to absorb the lesson that this is the cost and end result of lies. Speak the truth. At whatever cost. If you want to know how high the cost of lies can be, read the Gulag Archipelago.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AMAZING!
*by T***S on May 5, 2018*

I LOVE history, but was surprised I had such little knowledge of the events that transpired in Russia during this time period. I am just stupified as to why this is not taught in schools...well maybe not these days. While it is a somewhat difficult to read book, you will still get the idea as to what is happening. I accidentally bought 2 of these books when I made my purchase. It will certainly go to someone who also enjoys history.I do not regret my purchase at all!!! And it is just too good of a price to pass up. Even if you don't finish it, you will at least get an idea as to what was going on. And honestly, those who don't learn from history, are bound to repeat it. I could see this sort of thing happening again...in one way or another.Thanks to the great Jordan Peterson for recommending this book!!!
