In this powerful work of history, Orlando Figes chronicles the private history of family life during the violent and repressive reign of Josef Stalin. Drawing on a vast collection of interviews and archives, <I>The Whisperers</I> re-creates the anguish of family members turned against one another--of the paranoia, alienation, and treachery that poisoned private life in Russia for generations. A panoramic portrait of a society in which everyone spoke in whispers, <I>The Whisperers</I> is 'rigorously compassionate. . . . A humbling monument to the evil and endurance of Russia's Soviet past and, implicitly, a guide to its present' (<I>The Economist</I>).<BR><p> City and town life; Communism - Psychological aspe 9780141013510 C2O library Online catalog (BETA) 306.8509470904 FIG Whi 3860 C2O library & collabtive (History & Geography) 13000 TheWhisperersPrivateLifeI34421_f.jpg 3751 2015-01-02 09:50:52 2015-01-02 09:50:52 machine generated
