Volume 1 of Solzhenitsyn's three-part "experiment in literary investigation" on the Soviet camp system, built from his own arrest and interrogation plus testimony from 227 witnesses. It traces the origins of the camps back before Stalin, arguing repression was built into the state from its first days. This volume covers arrest, interrogation and the machinery of the secret police rather than the camp years themselves. Readers wanting the full account need all three volumes; this one is the entry point and is often assigned or read first.

Volume 1 of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's "experiment in literary investigation" into the Soviet system of secret police and political repression. It is a work of Soviet history and a first-hand memoir. This edition features a new foreword by Anne Applebaum.
Solzhenitsyn recounts his own arrest as a decorated Red Army captain and his interrogation by the Soviet secret police. He describes the Gulag as an "almost invisible country," a continent of prisons and camps woven into Soviet society and run by the secret police.
The history draws on the testimony of 227 witnesses. It traces the origins of the concentration camp system and argues that the system was essential to the state from the first days of Lenin, not only under Stalin.
