Summary: | This review article explores the American rediscovery in recent years of the political, historical, and spiritual wisdom of the Russian anti-totalitarian writer and Nobel Laureate Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, especially the deepening appreciation of his two enduring masterworks, The Gulag Archipelago and the multivolume The Red Wheel.
