I have started the second tome of the Gulag Archipelago, am 20 pages in and very appreciative of his acknowledgement of Shalimov, as Ed noted - some suffered more than others.
I have also nearly completed Trotsky In Exile, a play by Weiss and it is worth anyone's time, it details in a couple of acts the contradictions and tensions that stoked his meteoric ascent and fall.
