'A highly readable translation of Neufeld's writings... Dyck offers new insights into how Soviet interrogators weaved grand narratives, drawing friends and colleagues to implicate each other and themselves in fabricated crimes. This adds a deeper understanding of the world in which Neufeld's experiences unfolded.' -- Aileen Friesen The Russian Review vol 73:04:2014 'The book provides an important firsthand account of life in the gulag and a unique perspective on the Nazi invasion of Ukraine.' -- Colin P. Neufeldt The Mennonite Quarterly, April 2015
