Description
Red Famine: Stalin's War on Ukraine
By Anne Applebaum, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, this book tells the story of one of the worst crimes of the 20th century. In 1929, Stalin launched a policy of agricultural collectivization, forcing millions of peasants off their land and onto collective farms. The result was a catastrophic famine, the most lethal in European history, in which at least five million people died between 1931 and 1933.
Applebaum argues that more than three million of those dead were Ukrainians who were deliberately targeted by the state. This devastating account captures the horror of ordinary people struggling to survive extraordinary evil, and shows how it may foreshadow a new threat to the political order in the 21st century.
