Journey Into the Whirlwind - (Helen and Kurt Wolff Books) by Eugenia Ginzburg (Paperback)

Journey into the Whirlwind is a courageous memoir of one woman's harrowing eighteen-year odyssey through the Soviet Union's prisons and labor camps.

With an amazing eye for detail, profound strength, and an indefatigable spirit, Ginzburg recounts her years, days, and minutes endured in prisons and labor camps, including two years of solitary confinement.

This classic account of survival stands side by side with Nadezhda Mandelstam's memoirs and Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago.

An intensely personal and passionately felt document in which every syllable clangors with awful authenticity, Journey into the Whirlwind is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the horrors of Stalin's regime.
