The work is based on the testimony of some two hundred survivors, and on the recollection of Solzhenitsyn's own eleven years in labour camps and exile. It is both a thoroughly researched document and a feat of literary and imaginative power. *** Quantity Available: 1. Category: Biography & Autobiography; ISBN: 0006336426. ISBN/EAN: 9780006336426.
