Review: An important book to read - This has got to be one of the most eye opening books I have ever read. To be honest, I had never even heard of this book until Jordan Peterson mentioned it numerous times in his novels and lectures. I decided to give it a try. Communism is truly indefensible after reading this. The atrocities of the ideology are incredible. It reads like dystopian fiction, however it is all true. Make no mistake it is not an easy read due to its extreme dark content, but the book is also a near necessity to see just how far society can go. Its an important book to own, and not to be missed. The book is comprised of the authors own account of being imprisoned for ten years due to just knowing someone outside of Russia! It is also a compendium of some 200 other accounts of other people imprisoned, some killed. The book was written in secret and chronicles exactly how the mechanism of the archipelago functions. From brutal interrogations of countless people accused of falsities, to enduring horrific conditions as millions struggle to survive the camps. As speechless as I was after reading this, I feel obligated to encourage everyone to read this book.
Review: It's Solzhenitsyn's Book Itself That Matters-And It Matters INEXPRESSIBLY - This is an abridged volume of Solzhenitsyn's masterwork on the horrifying brutality of the Soviet Union (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics [USSR] and Central Committee of the Communist Party [CCCP] 1918-1991) as manifested in but one of its many horrifying appendages, the Glavnoe Upravlenie-ispravitel'no-trudovykh LAGerei (Main Administration of Corrective Labor Camps), more commonly known by its infamous acronym, the GULAG. I deeply encourage all who embrace Marxism to read this book. I deeply encourage all who embrace democracy to read this book. I deeply encourage all who embrace capitalism to read this book. I deeply encourage every citizen of this world to educate themselves on this book's contents. Please... Let the author, Aleksander Solzhenitsyn, be your reason for purchasing and reading this profoundly invaluable text. Tear out, scribble out the forward and all attached to it if you must. Let "The Gulag Archipelago" written by Solzhenitsyn's hard-earned hand take you through. He will speak to you as he did me. You have my word.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A pure classic
*by M***C on August 1, 2023*

Outstanding. A testament to the sheer triumph of human spirit in the face of merciless tyranny. It is simply a must read. It is an inspiration to all who suffer. The message is one of hope. In my opinion, this book is a masterpiece on the subject of human endurance.
