The University of Notre Dame Press has published a new English translation of March 1917: The Red Wheel, Node III, Book 2. This is the third volume in the Center for Ethics and Culture Solzhenitsyn Series sponsored by the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture at the University of Notre Dame. The previous titles in the series are Between Two Millstones, Book 1: Sketches of Exile, 1974-1978 and March 1917: The Red Wheel, Node III, Book 1.
