Denounced as an \"active counterrevolutionary\" and betrayed by his friends, the idealistic youth was brutally beaten and imprisoned. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Charged with passion, never doctrinaire, \u003ci\u003eBlood Red Sunset\u003c\/i\u003e is a startlingly vivid and personal narrative that opens a window on the psyche of totalitarian excess that no other work of history can provide.
