Anne Applebaum is Director of Political Studies at the Legatum Institute. Her book Gulag: A History won the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction as well as numerous other awards. She lives in Warsaw, Poland.
"Anne Applebaum, who had plumbed the archives to great effect in her Pulitzer Prize-winning book Gulag: A History (2003), persuasively argues in the introduction to Gulag Voices that the profoundly personal perspective of Gulag memoirists ... mean[s] that their works-valuable as both 'literature and testimony'-serve a 'moral and didactic' purpose as well as an historical one... Works such as Gulag Voices encourage historical understanding and moral catharsis and should be welcomed by Russians and Westerners alike."-Daniel J. Mahoney, The New Criterion -- Daniel J. Mahoney The New Criterion "[T]he perfect companion for college courses on Soviet history... This book, along with several similar books more or less simultaneously published, should be read widely."-Timothy J. Colton, Journal of Cold War Studies -- Timothy J.
