Stalin's Slave Ships

Bollinger, M.J.: 2003 USA, softcover 217 pages, illustrated. Stalin's Slave Ships by Martin J. Bollinger examines the Soviet Union's use of a fleet of cargo ships from 1932 to 1953 to transport approximately one million forced laborers to the brutal Kolyma prison camps in northeastern Siberia, detailing the horrific conditions and human suffering endured during these voyages. The book also uncovers the unwitting involvement of Western governments, particularly the United States, in supplying or refurbishing many of these vessels, drawing on firsthand accounts and archival materials to highlight this overlooked aspect of the Gulag system.
