AWARD HONORED WORK: “The Unquiet Ghost: Russians Remember Stalin”
The author set himself a daunting task: to explore how a recovering nation can come to terms with the horror of its recent past. This penetratingly reported, deeply felt, and keenly imaginative book concludes that the deliberate extermination of 20 million people by Joseph Stalin and his regime made all Russians both victims and perpetrators.
