Thought of the day, courtesy Vladimir Bukovsky, from his stunning 1979 autobiography, To Build a Castle: My Life as a Dissenter:

Every January Sixer should read this book not only to be inspired, but also, and at least as important, to learn to understand the psychology of captors and prisoners alike, along with the dissident's best strategies to use against our American KGB.
