Gulag: A History

She went on to be deputy editor at The Spectator and a columnist at The Washington Post.

Her book Gulag, A History, won the 2004 Pulitzer Prize, and Iron Curtain, Red Famine, and The Twilight of Democracy followed.

In 2024, she won the Peace Prize of the German book trade.

She is now a Polish citizen and is married to Poland's Foreign Minister Władysław Sikorski.

Her latest book is Autocracy Inc., The Dictators Who Want to Run the World.

It argues that today's autocracies don't share an ideology.

Communist China, theocratic Iran, nationalist Russia, and a handful of others instead cooperate like the separate companies of one big corporation.

Thanks for taking the time.
