Temperamentally and intellectually, Natan Sharansky is a man very
much like many of us--which makes this account of his arrest on
political grounds, his trial, and ten years' imprisonment in the
Orwellian universe of the Soviet gulag particularly vivid and
resonant.
Since Fear No Evil was originally published in 1988, the Soviet
government that imprisoned Sharansky has collapsed. Sharansky has
become an important national leader in Israel--and serves as
Israel's diplomatic liaison to the former Soviet Union! New York
Times Jerusalem Bureau Chief Serge Schmemann reflects on those
monumental events, and on Sharansky's extraordinary life in the
decades since his arrest, in a new introduction to this edition.
But the truths Sharansky learned in his jail cell and sets forth in
this book have timeless importance so long as rulers anywhere on
earth still supress their own peoples. For anyone with an interest
in human rights--and anyone with an appreciation for the resilience
of the human spirit--he illuminates the weapons with which the
powerless can humble the powerful: physical courage, an untiring
sense of humor, a bountiful imagination, and the conviction that
"Nothing they do can humiliate me. I alone can humiliate myself."
