Publisher's Note: The book 'Inside the Soviet Union Without a Passport' by John Urwich presents - in three volumes totalling approximately 1,000 pages - nations & people decimated by the Soviets & their struggle to survive seen through the eyes of a foreigner imprisoned for 9 years in Soviet death camps. It deals accurately & truthfully with the nationality problem in the Soviet empire, revealing the hidden meaning of the new Soviet policy of glasnost & perestroika. The book also reveals the plight of many foreigners forcefully detained in Soviet death camps - Americans, Frenchmen, Englishmen, Jews, Dutchmen, Germans, Belgians, Romanians, Chinese, Japanese, Hungarians, Greeks, etc. - & their participation in a general strike against the Soviets. One of the most interesting episodes deals with the Soviets' kidnapping & deportation of a cousin of a United States President. Soviet personalities - such as Stalin, Beria, Khrushchev, Bulganin, Marshal Zhukov, etc. - are presented to the reader in the context of the power struggle within the Soviet ruling Politbureau. The dire consequences of the 1939 Soviet-Nazi secret treaty & of the Katyn massacre are illustrated in the fate of many Baltics & Poles deported to the Soviet death camps of Vorkuta, Norilsk, Karaganda & Kazakhstan. The existence of some unofficial republics made up of deportees & detainees - such as the Komi 'autonomous' Republic - is also revealed together with the Soviets' intentions towards America told by former K. G. B. agents or Soviet high ranking officials fallen from grace into the nightmare of the death camps.
