Fear No Evil

Book • 1988
Fear No Evil is a memoir by Natan Sharansky that chronicles his experiences as a Jewish refusenik in the Soviet Union.

The book describes his arrest in 1977, his trial on charges of espionage, and his subsequent imprisonment in the Soviet gulag.

Sharansky recounts the physical and mental tortures he endured, as well as the strategies he used to maintain his dignity and resist his captors.

The narrative highlights his love for his wife and family, his solidarity with fellow dissidents, and the role of his faith and intellect in surviving the harsh prison conditions.

The book also reflects on the broader context of Soviet repression and the international campaign for his release, culminating in his liberation in 1986 and his aliyah to Israel.
