What happens when the men who built the system become its victims?
Moscow, 1937. A young prosecutor believes he serves justice - until the laws he enforces turn on him. In the heart of Stalin's Great Terror, where truth is rewritten daily and silence is survival, he begins to see what no one dares to say aloud: the Soviet system is devouring itself.
Based on declassified files, archival letters, and real accounts from the Procuracy and NKVD, Two Prosecutors: The True Story of Law, Lies, and the Soviet System That Ate Itself exposes the dark humor and chilling absurdity of a world where paperwork decides who lives and who disappears.
What you're about to discover will change how you see justice, loyalty, and truth itself.
Few people know that even the enforcers of Stalin's laws were swallowed by the same machine they served. Their names erased, their files rewritten - until one forbidden letter surfaced decades later.
Through vivid storytelling, black irony, and haunting realism, author Derek Danforth reconstructs a world where every confession is scripted, every accusation recycled, and every word carries a death sentence. This isn't fiction - it's history so strange it reads like a novel.
Why this book matters:
Because understanding how truth was weaponized once helps us recognize when it happens again.
What readers will gain:
An unforgettable journey through fear, faith, and resistance inside the Soviet bureaucracy - and a new understanding of how ordinary people become instruments of tyranny.
