These two rows of young men look like any group of American ballplayers, except perhaps for the Russian lettering on their jerseys. The players have left their homeland and the Great Depression in search of a better life in Stalinist Russia, but instead they will meet tragic and, until now, forgotten fates. Within four years, most of them will be arrested alongside untold numbers of other Americans. Some will be executed. Others will be sent to \"corrective labor\" camps where they will be worked to death. This book is the story of lives-the forsaken who died and those who survived.\n\nBased on groundbreaking research, The Forsaken is the story of Americans whose dreams were shattered and lives lost in Stalinist Russia.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0143115421\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0143115421.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Tzouliadis, Tim\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
