A Hidden World is Raphael Rupert's first-person account of the nine years he spent in Soviet forced-labor camps after his 1947 arrest while working at the British Embassy in Budapest. Sentenced to 25 years at Camp 10 on a presumed spy confession, he describes winter cold, factory drudgery, guards and prison gangs, hunger and scarce medical care until his release and emigration to Britain and later Ireland. The book first appeared in 1963, edited by Anthony Rhodes with an introduction by Edward Crankshaw, and runs 228 pages. It sits with classic Gulag testimony rather than later archival histories: a short, direct witness account rather than a broad scholarly survey.
