Hero or assassin? Victim or criminal? Marie Sukloff fits no easy category. A young peasant woman who became a political radical and activist, Sukloff carried out an assassination plot against a Russian governor known for murderous pogroms and rampages against the Jews of his province. This mesmerizing autobiographical account tells the story of Sukloff's peasant childhood, radicalization, direct action, exile to Siberia, and escape. She tells her story with a colorful verve, sincerity, intensity, and simplicity that makes it almost impossible to put down, raising questions of political philosophy and responsibility that challenge the complacency of every reader. - Summary by Expatriate (4 hr 24 min)

Really, really interesting. As horrible as communism was, it behooves us to remember the horrible oppression that pushed an unhappy people towards it. A tragic tale of a tragic people. The suffering described here is sad beyond words
A powerful story

A remarkable true story. An intense and gripping account of the revolutionary struggle against the corrupt Czarist regime of Russia. Her perseverance against the odds is uplifting. Very well read by Expatriate.
