Volume 1 of Solzhenitsyn's three-part history of the Soviet camp system, built from his own arrest and interrogation as a decorated Red Army captain plus testimony from 227 witnesses. It traces the secret police and the camp system back to the state's first days, not just Stalin's rule. This edition carries a new foreword by Anne Applebaum. It suits readers of Soviet history and memoir who want the first-hand account before the broader survey; the full work runs three volumes, so expect to commit to the set rather than one book.

Readers rate it very highly, praising its moral force and documentary weight. The main complaints are its length and density, and that this is only the opening volume of three.
Volume 1 of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago, subtitled An Experiment in Literary Investigation. It is a report of his arrest and interrogation by the Soviet secret police. It describes the vast bureaucracy of secret police and political repression in Soviet society.
The book is part memoir and part history. Solzhenitsyn tells his own story, from his arrest as a decorated Red Army captain to his interrogation. 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.
This edition includes a new foreword by Anne Applebaum.
