(Gerald Amster was a footloose American living in Amsterda...)
Gerald Amster was a footloose American living in Amsterdam in 1976 when he was approached by a stranger and asked if he would fly to Kuala Lumpur to collect a package. Short of cash and eager for adventure, Amster agreed. Accompanied by two companions, the author picked up three suitcases from his contact and flew to Sheremet'evo Airport, Moscow, the transit point to Paris where he was to deliver the luggage; there Amster and his friends were arrested for possession of more than 62 pounds of heroin. Sentenced to 7 years, Amster was moved to Gulag 5-1 in the remote forests of Mordovia. Authentic in every detail and written with the pace and excitement of suspense fiction, Transit Point Moscow is the only true account ever written of an American's ordeal inside a Soviet labor camp. In 1979, Amster alone brought off a spectacular escape, assisted by a woman prison doctor who had become his lover. That escape was the beginning of the worst of his trials: six terrifying months in Moscow, locked in a "safe house" of an underground network, venturing into the streets only rarely, posing as a mute so no one would discover he was a foreigner. Beyond the gripping story, the reader is exposed directly to the harrowing and heretofore invisible underside of Soviet life inside the Gulag - mistreatment and abuse of prisoners, prostitution and homosexuality, institutionalized racism and bigotry - all described by a keen-eyed Western observer.
