#2 I read the Gulag Archipelago twice; the first time it scared the hell out of me. Solzhenitsyn undoubtedly outed the Soviet Union's warts and ugly secrets and he deserves credit for that. However, anyone who opens that book should remember the first few pages, the ones where he says "everybody knew what to do with German women; first you raped them, then you shot them."

If raping and murdering noncombatants is something you can overlook in establishing someone in your pantheon of heroes, go for it. For me, that doesn't work. It's one of the reasons I despise Mo and his followers as well.
