The Gulag--a vast array of Soviet concentration camps that held millions of political and criminal prisoners--was a system of repression and punishment that terrorized the entire society, embodying the worst tendencies of Soviet communism. In this magisterial and acclaimed history, Anne Applebaum offers the first fully documented portrait of the Gulag, from its origins in the Russian Revolution, through its expansion under Stalin, to its collapse in the era of glasnost. Applebaum intimately re-creates what life was like in the camps and links them to the larger history of the Soviet Union. Immediately recognized as a landmark and long-overdue work of scholarship, Gulag is an essential book for anyone who wishes to understand the history of the twentieth century.

Wonderful book - terrible topic
This is an extremely well written history of the Gulog. The fact that the people of an entire country and empire could be treated so ruthlessly in modern times is frightening. Congratulations to Anne Applebaum for shedding a light on this dark history. This book was easier reading than Solzhenitsyn's Gulog Archipelago.
