Notes/Review
As expected, lots of pain and suffering in this book. In these first two volumes, Solzhenitsyn analyzes the arrest, interrogation, and transportation of political prisoners in the USSR. He also gives a nice history of the judicial system and how its procedures and attitudes changed and evolved under the communists (as contrasted to under Tsarist times).
