After WWII, a million people claimed by the USSR refused repatriation, becoming "Lost Souls." Sheila Fitzpatrick's book unveils this Cold War flashpoint, detailing political battles and personal stories of these displaced persons (DPs). Initially seen as war victims, their reclassification as "victims of Communism" unlocked US resettlement funding. The USSR protested this "theft," but the DPs' choice for freedom became powerful Cold War propaganda. This is the untold story of a refugee crisis resolved through politics and the yearning for liberty.
