LEROS
Alex Majoli
Trolley Books

The Greek island of Leros was for more than 20 years the site of the world’s most notorious and brutal asylum for the insane; a social experiment that was to become a secret so terrible as to rival that of the Nazi death camps or the Stalinist gulags. Alex Majoli has chronicled its inmates and their return to a sane world and integration into society.
