Yet like millions of others who suffered during Stalin's reign of terror, she was arrested--on trumped-up charges of being a Trotskyist terrorist and counter-revolutionary--and sentenced to prison. With an amazing eye for detail, profound strength, and an indefatigable spirit, Ginzburg recounts the years, days, and minutes she endured in prisons and labor camps, including two years of solitary confinement. <br/><br/>A classic account of survival, <em>Journey into the Whirlwind</em> is considered one of the most important documents of Stalin's regime.<br/><br/>Stands side by side with Nadezhda Mandelstam's memoirs and Solzhenitsyn's <em>The Gulag Archipelago</em>.--Hannah Arendt, author of <em>The Origins of Totalitarianism</em><br/><br/>An intensely personal and passionately felt document in which every syllable clangors with awful authenticity.--<em>Time</em>
