from Knopf
Price: $19.11

Customer Review:
As a Cuban exile I was training for a job in Key West when the October Missile Crisis exploded. I was twenty, my wife nineteen and our baby three months old.
The narrow over-the-water highway connecting the mainland to Key West was closed to civilian trafic. Hundreds of missile launchers were... more info

2.The Gulag Archipelago: 1918-1956The Gulag Archipelago: 1918-1956
from Harper Perennial Modern Classics

Customer Review:
The title of this review is truly the way I feel about this book. The first volume relates stories of arrest and interrogation, the second volume tells of life in the camps, and the third talks of life in internal exile.
The second volume, in particular, is at times haunting and at others... more info

3.The Gulag Archipelago Volume 1: An Experiment in Literary Investigation (P.S.)The Gulag Archipelago Volume 1: An Experiment in Literary Investigation (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Price: $14.93

Customer Review:
For any who have any nostalgia for the Soviet Union, this book should put it to rest. This book is hard to categorize; it is more than one man's opinion, but less than an objective history. It is, as Solzhenitsyn puts it, "an experiment in literary investigation": a combination memoir and... more info

from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $12.24

Customer Review:
It was a pleasure reading this very well written and researched book. As an Indian, I grew up reading about the defeat of Russians in newspapers. The subsequent battle for Afghanistan between the communist government and the mujahedin entered my consciousness through snatches of news on the radio.... more info

from Random House
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:
I found this to be a solid and compelling piece of investigative journalism on the state of affairs in contemporary Russia. Levine sets out to depict the shadowy and violent zeitgeist of the "New Russia" that has unfolded with the ascension and consolidation of power by Vladimir Putin. After the... more info

This book is an important read for anyone with an interest in foreign policy and the role that energy is playing in it.

from Penguin Press HC, The
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
Anne Applebaum in Gulag: A History discusses briefly the issue of foreigners in the Gulag. But she does not give us a figure as to how many were there. Elsewhere stories have popped up from time to time of notable American leftists who journeyed to the Soviet Union in the 1930s and disappeared into... more info

9.The Cold War: A New HistoryThe Cold War: A New History
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
Gaddis offers a concise, readable, and well-documented history of the Cold War. What he does not offer us is a "new" history, as the title promises. This book helped fill in some blanks about the most dangerous period of our history, but I didn't set the book down thinking I had a strongly different... more info

from Harper Perennial Modern Classics

Customer Review:
This book is a learning experience. It is somewhat difficult reading, but it contains so many valuable lessons about life. The book made me think of Buddhism, although it was never mentioned. It is filled with descriptions of the torture the inhabitants of the gulags went through; on looking back on... more info
