Solzhenitsyn: Prophet to America

Over at the Acton Institute blog, John Couretas reviews the new Deavel/Wilson anthology, Solzhenitsyn and American Culture: The Russian Soul in the West.

“The lesson that students should draw from the study of Solzhenitsyn’s works, and his great soul, is to resist the temptation of thinking that the demonic forces of famine, imprisonment, and mass murder in Russia could never happen in America or in the West.

“Alas,” Solzhenitsyn wrote, “all the evil of the twentieth century is possible everywhere on earth.””
