Red Famine: Stalin's War on Ukraine
Description
This definitive history examines the famine that devastated Soviet Ukraine from 1931 to 1933, placing it within Stalin’s broader campaign of forced collectivization, political repression, and cultural suppression. Drawing on archival research, survivor testimony, and historical records, it argues that the catastrophe was not merely the result of failed policy but was used deliberately to break Ukrainian resistance and undermine national identity. With clarity and moral force, the book explores the human cost of totalitarian rule, the erasure of historical memory, and the enduring consequences of state-sponsored terror. It is both a searing account of one of the twentieth century’s great crimes and a vital study of the continuing struggle over Ukraine’s history and independence.
