Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: The Writer Who Changed History

By Margo Caulfield

This book was born of an attempt to answer an American third-grader's question: How could it be that a decorated Soviet officer was removed from the front lines and imprisoned for years simply for making a negative comment about Stalin?To help children understand how one person can "write" a wrong and change the course of history, Caulfield (like Solzhenitsyn himself, a longtime resident of Cavendish, VT) has penned the first children's biography of Solzhenitsyn, sharing his extraordinary journey . . .* from young Russian child to Communist student . . .* from heroic soldier to gulag prisoner . . .* from unknown provincial schoolteacher to Nobel prize-winning author . . .* from a "traitor" expelled by the Soviet government to a living legend finally returned home.
