Jan Gross describes the terrors of the Soviet occupation of the
lands that made up eastern Poland between the two world wars: the
Western Ukraine and Western Belorussia. His lucid analysis of the
revolution that came to Poland from abroad is based on hundreds of
first-hand accounts of the hardship, suffering, and social chaos
that accompanied the Sovietization of this poorest section of a
poverty-stricken country. Woven into the author's exploration of
events from the Soviet's German-supported aggression against Poland
in September of 1939 to Germany's attack on the Soviet Union in
June 1941, these testimonies not only illuminate his conclusions
about the nature of totalitarianism but also make a powerful
statement of their own. Those who endured the imposition of Soviet
rule and mass deportations to forced resettlement, labor camps, and
prisons of the Soviet Union are here allowed to speak for
themselves, and they do so with grim effectiveness.
