Weissberg, an Austrian scientist and Communist Party member, was arrested in 1937 under false charges of plotting terrorist acts against Stalin and others. The book reveals the inner workings of the Soviet terror regime, focusing on the methods used to extract confessions for fabricated crimes. Weissberg's narrative provides a vivid depiction of life inside the political prisons and the psychological torment faced by prisoners. His story is not only a personal testimony but also an exploration of the broader mechanisms of oppression within the Soviet Union. The book is intended for readers interested in Soviet history, political repression, and the human capacity for endurance and resistance under extreme circumstances.$7Generated by AI. 606 $aPolitical prisoners$zSoviet Union$7Generated by AI 606 $aCommunist party purges$7Generated by AI 615 0$aPolitical prisoners 615 0$aCommunist party purges 700 $aWeissberg$b Alexander$01374416 701 $aFitzgerald$b Edward$0711315 701 $aKoestler$b Arthur$0134651 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910156452503321 996 $aThe Accused$93407560 997 $aUNINA
