Media Reviews
The Critchlows have rendered a signal service by providing attention, access, and background to this historically important literature. -- John Earl Haynes, author of Early Cold War Spies
These accounts by largely forgotten figures [offer] a strength in the face of the inversion of truth and rationality that is incomprehensible. -- Tim Marchman * New York Sun *
This book provides shocking insight into the workings of communism and, therefore, into the Cold War itself. * Conservativenet *
These stories should not only be read for the lessons they can teach us about socialism. They should be read because they are great literature, human drama, and an inspiration to everyone who will ever face adversity. * Conservative Monitor *
The stories told and retold here...make for painful but necessary reading.... What they have to say we must never forget. * First Things *
The narratives collected...exemplify...the abuses of human rights in Communist states and act...as landmarks in...history... * The Russian Review *
Powerful and revealing information about the human costs of the attempted applications of Marxism-Leninism… -- Paul Hollander * Journal of Cold War Studies *
These memoirs pose important questions about the monolithic character of communist ideology. -- Karla Cruise * Slavic and East European Journal *
Critchlow contributes greatly to our understanding of American politics in the last half of the twentieth century. -- Jonathan J. Bean
