but it's a nice idea though" or "Oh yes

May 14, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I regard this book as of the most needed reads of the current generation of Western Civilization. As a millennial, throughout my life there are few things that I have heard more than "the power of the collective through community." I have heard this most often in reference to some form of Communism or Socialism. Always accompanying these isms have been general statements of their respective failures as political theories quickly silenced by blanket statements such as, "Yeah, but it's a nice idea though" or "Oh yes. The USSR was an ugly blot on history of Marxism BUT that is not REAL communism. The Russians did it wrong." Those statements, not only logically fallacious but also exceedingly arrogant, comes out of the mouths of almost every young person (14 to 30) that I speak to about Communism. They believe, through the meddling of media and academia, that Communism is a caring ideology that wants what is best for others. They are all about feelings and the supremacy of people's experiences. Well, that is what Solzhenitsyn does: he brings to you the reality of the sinister totalitarianism that is Marxism. Though he is regarded as one of the finest scholars of the 20th century he has done what the millennial generation wants: he has made it personal. This book has opened my eyes to the horrors of Soviet Russia and what is more, throughout his story, he reveals important aspects of our human nature. You Western son or daughter MUST READ THIS BOOK. It will change your life if you do.

This book put in words what many of my extended family members in the Soviet Union went through. And, to think that many here in North America want to replicate that evil system here.

This is the Abridged Version

October 19, 2012

Format: Kindle Edition

Although there is nothing inherently wrong with abridgements, books like this, and this book in particular, should never be abridged. I have read the 3 volume paperback version and it is worth the time...and some effort.

I'm writing this review so people will know they are buying the abridged version and not as an attempt to trash this masterwork. This is a great book! Because of this it should be read in its entirety.

Also, as an eBook there is no reason all 3 books could not be sold as one...after all, there is no weight to them.

Happy Reading.

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Why is this book so hard to get? Won a Pulitzer but not readily available via prime or on kindle? For one of the most important works in human history- about government oppression- I find it odd that this was so hard to get a hold of.

Excellent Book

January 17, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book is a real page turner - I couldn't put it down. I think it's really important that people start educating themselves about the former soviet union and the real atrocities that occurred. There's been a lack of education in the US. I went to public schools and they basically told us a little bit about WWII and Nazi germany and left the soviet union entirely out of the conversation. The book smelled a little funny when it arrived but was brand new so I'm guessing just musty from storage.

Lessons from history that we can all learn from.

January 11, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Unbelievable stories from one of the most murderous times in history. We know a lot about the atrocities of the second world war but very little of this history is known to young people around the world.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn is a master with words. The book takes time to read because you're constantly thinking about what you've just read. The content will leave you dumbfounded! This should be a set book in schools. If this information were well known to our younger generations, perhaps the world would be a different place and our future more secure.

There is so much that can be learned from reading this book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who believes that we can learn from history.

Communism is still alive because is good for bad guys and they are multiply like worms

August 4, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Bestseller. If somebody believe that book is a picture of history which is over surely is wrong. Communism is still alive because is good for bad guys and they are multiply like worms. People cannot create system good for everybody. It is a good lesson for dreamers.

Our job is to do our best to make the world better at all times

July 12, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book helped me understand the underlying causes for human misery. We all play a part in the destructive patterns in this world. Our job is to do our best to make the world better at all times. In order for evil to succeed it needs partners at all levels (leaders and followers). If we stop following and supporting we can then make it much harder for evil people to lead.
