Written by Sergei Kourdakov It is about life in the Soviet regime and an orphan boy who made it big in the communist state machinery. An amazing first person account, it chronicles Sergei's journey from survival to being honoured with a leading position in the secret police—and the degradation he experienced persecuting believers that over time disillusioned him into defecting from his role at the peril of his life. The autobiography finds him a refugee in Canada where he finds and turns his life over to the same God he was once trying to eradicate. This book is more suitable for teenagers and older—but it’s a must-read for anyone attracted to communism or anyone wondering about the psychology of how a dictatorship maintains control of its people. Paperback, 239 pages, illustrated
