Defiance: The Bielski Partisans
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $7.99

Customer Review:

I saw the movie 'Defiance' because it starred Daniel Craig and I thought the story was interesting. But what the movie did - good as it was, was to arouse my curiosity - there had to be more to the story than what they could put in a film. I was not disappointed. This book went into the detail that... more info

Gulag: A History
from Anchor

Customer Review:

Journalist Anne Applebaum won the Pulitzer prize (for non-fiction in 2004) for this ultra-comprehensive, well-researched and written book about all things Gulag.

from Metropolitan Books
Price: $15.97

Customer Review:

Ivan's war presents details of little known history of WWII. It supports another account of the times which I have recently read and was very impressed withAbandoned and Forgotten: An Orphan Girl's Tale of Survival During World War II, exceedingly well.

Customer Review:

Probably one of the most important works I have ever read. Solzhenitsyn gives voice to the millions of voiceless victims of Stalin's Soviet Russia. Unfortunately this is one of histories lesser known crimes, and the power of this man's voice helps to rectify this. This book is powerful and brutal.... more info
