Full description for The Whisperers

• "A "New York Times "Notable Book of 2007 ""A tremendous achievement."--"The Sunday Times "(London)"The Whisperers" is a triumphant act of recovery. 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, "The Whisperers" 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, "The Whisperers" is "rigorously compassionate. . . . A humbling monument to the evil and endurance of Russia's Soviet past and, implicitly, a guide to its present" ("The Economist").
