About this product

Product Information

"Gripping and important . . . an extremely impressive book." --Noel Malcolm, Telegraph (London) A remarkable piece of forgotten history- the never-before-told story of Americans lured to Soviet Russia by the promise of jobs and better lives, only to meet tragic ends In 1934, a photograph was taken of a baseball team. These two rows of young men look like any group of American ballplayers, except perhaps for the Russian lettering on their jerseys. The players have left their homeland and the Great Depression in search of a better life in Stalinist Russia, but instead they will meet tragic and, until now, forgotten fates. Within four years, most of them will be arrested alongside untold numbers of other Americans. Some will be executed. Others will be sent to "corrective labor" camps where they will be worked to death. This book is the story of lives-the forsaken who died and those who survived. Based on groundbreaking research, The Forsaken is the story of Americans whose dreams were shattered and lives lost in Stalinist Russia.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • An in depth accounting of Soviet crimes against American citizens

    The American educational establishment has been quite adept in ignoring the crimes of the Soviet state against American citizens. The abduction of American servicemen at the end of WWII and during the Korean conflict has been known by the families of the victims but never broadly reported in the popular press or taught in history classes. This book addresses those actions along with the imprisonment and murder of as many of 100,000 American citizens who went to the Soviet Union in the 1920's and 30's. Communism is the greatest evil ever inflicted on mankind and this book should be required reading in every high school history class.
