«Invisible Allies» is Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's memoir, published by Penguin Random House in paperback (312 pages, in English).
After being expelled from the USSR in 1974, Solzhenitsyn reconstructs the network that hid and disseminated his writings: friends who concealed manuscripts, typists who copied them in secret, and journalists or diplomats who smuggled microfilms abroad. An intimate and grateful portrait of those who risked their freedom against censorship.
The work originally appeared in 1995; this English edition is from 1997. The cover reproduces a photograph of the author and a quote from Michael Scammell, The New York Times.
A work of interest for readers of memoirs, Soviet history, and political resistance literature.
Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn was a Soviet and Russian author and dissident who helped to raise global awareness of political repression in the Soviet Union, especially the Gulag prison system. He was awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the ethical force with which he has pursued the indispensable traditions of Russian literature". His nonfiction work The Gulag Archipelago "amounted to a head-on challenge to the Soviet state" and sold tens of millions of copies.
