Journalist Anne Applebaum (Washington Post, Slate) joins us to discuss her prize-winning work. Applebaum is also the Director of Political Studies at the Legatum Institute in London, where she runs projects on political and economic transition.
Her Pultizer Prize winning book Gulag: A History(2003) is the history of the Soviet concentration camps system. This breakthrough work describes daily life in the camps, making extensive use of recently opened Russian archives, as well as memoirs and interviews. Her first book, Between East and West: Across the Borderlands of Europe, described a journey through Lithuania, Ukraine and Belarus, then on the verge of independence. Her latest book Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe 1944-53 will be published in October and is on the Stalinization of post-war Central Europe. Join us to hear more on her work and ongoing research.
