THE GULAG ARCHIPELAGO VOLUME 2 BY ALEXANDER SOLZHENITSYN IN SOUTH AFRICA

 The first volume of The Gulag Archipelago left us in the antechamber of hell.  In Gulag ll, Solzhenitsyn takes us to the lower depths, the concentration camps where he spent 8 years as a prisoner after his arrest in 1945. With the publication of Gulag ll, Solzhenitsyn's staggering achievement becomes more apparent: he has created an enduring and brilliant literary monument to the victims of one of the most monstrous crimes against humanity ever committed and the most complete account of the history, function and scope of the concentration camp system yet written. Soft cover, fair condition.  The cover shows some signs of wear.  The paper is browning.  688 pages.
