Book Reviews of From the Gulag to the Killing Fields: Personal Accounts of Political Violence and Repression in Communist States

Book Review: A little dry, but still impressive
Summary: 3 Stars

Maybe it is just me, or maybe something is lost in the translation for the exerpts reproduced in this volume, but the reading was a little rougher going than I expected. It is, however, wide-ranging, with voices from some of the lessor-examined communist regimes, and it definitely worth a look if this is your field of interest.
