Description

Gustaw Herling's A World Apart is one of the most important books about soviet camps and communist ideology in the Stalinist period, but it was relatively unknown till Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago in the 1970s. In this first monograph on Herling's fascinating life, Bolecki discusses hitherto unknown documents from the writer's archive.
