Abstract: We prove a "unique crossed product decomposition" result for group measure space II_1 factors arising from arbitrary free ergodic probability measure preserving (p.m.p.) actions of groups Gamma in a fairly large family G, which contains all free products of a Kazhdan group and a non-trivial group, as well as certain amalgamated free products over an amenable subgroup. We deduce that if T_n denotes the group of upper triangular matrices in PSL(n,Z), then any free, mixing p.m.p. action of the amalgamated free product of PSL(n,Z) with itself over T_n, is W*-superrigid, i.e. any isomorphism between L^infty(X) times Gamma and an arbitrary group measure space factor L^infty(Y) times Lambda, comes from a conjugacy of the actions. We also prove that for many groups Gamma in the family G, the Bernoulli actions of Gamma are W*-superrigid.
