Until now; there has been little scholarly analysis of the Soviet Gulag as an economic; social; and political institution; primarily owing to a lack of data. This collection presents the results of years of research by Western and Russian scholars. The authors provide both broad overviews and specific case studies.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A really great perspective of the Korean warBy Dr. Ronald H. SandersThis book offers a unique insight of the Korean War at its worst as seen through the eyes of an Orthodox Jewish Chaplain who shared the travails of the American soldiers at a most desperate time in our history. It is comprised of translations from the Yiddish; as it was published in the Yiddish Daily; The Morgan Journal; out of New York. The book has a fascinating introduction about the Korean War which in abbreviated form sets the stage for a true understanding of the depth; breadth; and tragedy of this conflict. It also gives a heretofore unseen insight into the thoughts and behavior of the Jewish soldier of that time. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about the Korean War from "the trenches". Original maps and clear writing make the information come to life.
