Solzhenitsyn never fails
In a work that is just as relevant today as during the Cold War, readers expect insightful words, prophetic even. Consider that Solzhenitsyn praised the West for its freedom and commitment to truth and justice, then declared that the West would lose in the end, this work proves just as pertinent as during the 1970's when Solzhenitsyn made these speeches. Everyone who is concerned with the present war that America is now involved should read this work to gain both knowledge that only the past can offer and to acquire a more clear picture of the possible haunting future we could plausibly be facing.
