The Forsaken: From the Great Depression to the Gulags - Hope and Betrayal in Stalin's Russia

This is the staggering true story of thousands of Americans who fled Depression-era unemployment for the promise of work in Stalin's Soviet Union—only to vanish into the Gulag system. Tim Tzouliadis unearths a tragedy that was hushed up by both superpowers: idealistic emigrants who became 'enemies of the state', abandoned by their own country. Meticulously researched and deeply haunting, it reads like a thriller but delivers uncomfortable truths. Perfect for readers who love history that challenges what they thought they knew.
