## Description

Buy The Gulag Archipelago [Volume 2]: An Experiment in Literary Investigation (P.S.) Illustrated by Solzhenitsyn, Aleksandr I (ISBN: 9780061253720) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: The greatest book of the 20th century - Such a shame the horrors of the "Soviet experiment" is barely taught in schools across the Western world. Mr Solzhenitsyn tells the story in a very unique way. Dark and harrowing yet witty and humorous. A must read for any serious scholar of the Bolshevik revolution, the institutions it created and for the millions who suffered. Some of their stories live on through this work.
Review: The most important book you will ever read - Where to start? The expose of the millennium, which lays bare the brutality of the USSR. A window into the human soul - our ability to twist and contort our morality to do the most heinous acts, but how, in rare cases, people do not lose their sense of morality even as the system they live in crushes them. You will be left in no doubt about the failures of utopian visions, how rhetoric and lofty ideals come to mask what is simply evil, the moral bankruptcy of socialism.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The greatest book of the 20th century
*by P***D on 12 December 2022*

Such a shame the horrors of the "Soviet experiment" is barely taught in schools across the Western world. Mr Solzhenitsyn tells the story in a very unique way. Dark and harrowing yet witty and humorous. A must read for any serious scholar of the Bolshevik revolution, the institutions it created and for the millions who suffered. Some of their stories live on through this work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most important book you will ever read
*by E***N on 9 September 2019*

Where to start? The expose of the millennium, which lays bare the brutality of the USSR. A window into the human soul - our ability to twist and contort our morality to do the most heinous acts, but how, in rare cases, people do not lose their sense of morality even as the system they live in crushes them. You will be left in no doubt about the failures of utopian visions, how rhetoric and lofty ideals come to mask what is simply evil, the moral bankruptcy of socialism.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential
*by S***N on 4 December 2020*

This is the best of the Gulag Archipelago trilogy, and I believe it should be compulsory reading in all secondary schools. Maybe then we wouldn't have seen everyone happily surrendering their civil liberties this year to whatever arbitrary rules governments make up as they go along.
