Shcharansky: Hero of Our Time

Opis

The young Soviet Jewish activist and “refusenik” Anatoly B. Shcharansky (now known as Natan Shcharansky), gained his freedom in February 1986 after nine years in Soviet prisons and labour camps. This dramatic biography of one of the authentic heroes of our time tells a remarkable story of a fearless young man who risked his life to help others. Included in the book are the many messages Shcharansky and his friends compiled inside Russia to alert the world to their plight, material from his trial, and Shcharansky’s letters from prison to his friends and family.
