1947331 pages including index. "A picture of Russia today which does not include a description of labor camps and exile is not a true picture; often it is deliberately misleading. The forced labor system of Soviet Russia is not the invention of a diabolic mind; neither is it a temporary anomaly nor a tumor on the body easily removed. The system is an organic element, a normal component, of the social structure... This book seeks to present the natural history of forced labor in Soviet Russia: the first feeble experiments, the successes and failures, the gradual development of the widely ramified system; the early ideas, and the mutations in ideology from humanitarianism to mercilessness." - from preface. Prior owner's name and date upon front endpaper. Pages yellowed at edges. Cigarette smoke odour. Moderate wear. Solid copy. Book
