Natan Sharansky lives in Israel, where he is a leader of Israel B'aliyah, the party of the new Russian immigrants, and minister of industry and trade in Netanyahu's cabinet.
The classic, inspiring memoir of a political dissidenta man whose fierce spirit and drive for freedom triumphed over imprisonment, solitary confinement, the Soviet Union, and Communism itself
Sharansky writes of the nine years he spent in the Soviet gulag. ``Told with remarkable calm, even with harrowing humor, Sharansky's gripping and deeply moving account of his prison years is a tribute to human resilience. His sheer courage and moral stature are matched only by his literary skill at conveying the nightmare he endured,'' praised PW . (Jan.)
