Description: Originally published in hardcover in 1998.
Review Quotes: "A gripping but matter-of-fact memoir. . . . A fascinating history, this compelling memoir is also a story of inner resolve and the will to keep going. It's a worthy companion to such accounts as Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "The Gulag Archipelago and Natalya Ginzburg's "Journey into the Whirlwind."--"Publishers Weekly [starred review]
