Fascinating story of survival. Dolgun survived some of the toughest prisons in the Soviet system by his wits. The State Department knew he'd been taken, but didn't/couldn't help him. His mother, who was also imprisoned, ended up mentally broken. His sister managed to escape the Soviet Union and got him back to the US years after he'd been released and struggled to make a life for himself. Had that not happened, this story would have been untold.
