Solzhenitsyn spent eleven years in labor camps and exile. This book is his masterpiece, based on personal experiences as well as the testimony of about 200 survivors. An extensive account of camps, prisons, transit centers, and secret police, with informers, spies, and interrogators, as well as daily heroism, records the history of those who dared to oppose Stalin, and for whom the key to survival was not hope but despair. A fully researched document and an achievement of literary and imaginative power, this edition of "The Gulag Archipelago" was condensed into one volume at the request of the author.

Its significance cannot be overstated. "It helped bring down an empire" - Doris Lessing, Sunday Telegraph. "Solzhenitsyn's masterpiece... helped create the world we live in today" - Anne Applebaum. EDITED BY JORDAN B. PETERSON. THE OFFICIALLY APPROVED CONDENSATION OF VOLUMES I, II & III OF THE GULAG ARCHIPELAGO.
