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

1997192 pages. Bibliography and index. Profusely illustrated with black and white and color photos. "Offers a chilling look at how one man - Joseph Stalin - manipulated the science of photography to advance his own political career and to erase the memory of his victims. On Stalin's orders, purged rivals were air-brushed from group portraits, and crowd scenes were altered to depict even greater legions of the faithful. The juxtaposition of the original and the doctored images yields a terrifying - and often tragically funny - insight into one of the darkest chapters in modern history." - dust jacket. Average wear to dust jacket which is now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. Book
