Summary
This is a book that combines history, autobiography, documentary and political analysis as it examines in its totality the Soviet apparatus of repression from its inception following the October revolution of 1917. This volume covers what the author calls "The destructive-Labor camps" and the fate of prisoners in them, felling timber, building canals and railroads, mining gold without equipment or adequate food or clothing, and subject always to the caprices of the camp authorities. Most tragic of all is the life of the women prisoners...and of the luckless children they bear
