Just finished this book. It was a very compelling read. It is a survival story of epic proportions. Also to it's credit, Solomon, the author, is a great story teller and fills this book with many antidotal tales. It was such a good read, I can't wait to pass it on!

Michael Solomon undergoes 17 years of imprisonment in Communist Romania and Russia, including 8 years at the dreaded Kolyma penal labor camps of Siberia, yet he lives to tell the tale. And what a tale it is: the brutal truth of the Soviet Union being the world's largest concentration camp while it existed from 1917-1991. As survivor stories go, they don't come any better than this.
Highly recommended book about GULAG.

Let me quote J.R. Nyquist -WorldNetDaily contributing editor and author of "Origins of the Fourth World War":"On my desk I have an old copy of Michael Solomon's memoir, "Magadan." He was sentenced to 25 years hard labor in the Russian Gulag. His book should be required reading for all American school children. Why should it be required? Because the barbarism inflicted on Solomon could be unleashed on America. In fact, we have allowed totalitarians to sneak into our universities, to penetrate our government and insinuate their prejudices into our media. Our people need to be told the truth. They need to see the danger before it engulfs them. Once totalitarianism takes hold there is no cure. It is a disease that corrupts its victims so that no turning back is possible." (J.R. Nyquist, Nov. 4, 1999, WorldNetDaily.com http://www.antipas.org/news/russia/torture.html)
