Publishing the Gulag - A Diary

In his Diary, Winthrop Knowlton, former CEO of Harper & Row Publishers, Inc., describes the inside story of the publication of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s The Gulag Archipelago, regarded by many as the most significant publishing event of the 20th century. He tells the story of how the manuscript was secretly brought to the United States, translated, and marketed to great acclaim. Edward Kline, Russian expert, puts these events in historical perspective in his Introduction and Addendum.
