Red Famine
Stalin's War on Ukraine
Anne Applebaum
A shocking and revelatory history of Stalin's devastating policy of agricultural collectivization, which led to one of the deadliest famines in European history. At least five million people died between 1931 and 1933 in the USSR, with more than three million of those deaths deliberately inflicted on Ukrainians. Anne Applebaum's Red Famine documents 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 twenty-first century.

It's a great book, and like mine on Putin it would be nice if people were reading it for history instead of current events! – source2022-03-10T16:48:25.000Z
This is a phenomenal book, well researched and riveting in outlining Russian cruelty to Ukraine in the 1930s. Read it about two years ago, and highly recommend. – source2022-07-12T23:37:09.000Z
A more readable book about Ukrainian history is “Red Famine” by Anne Applebaum. In order to tell the story of Stalin’s oppression, she gives a much abbreviated but far more digestible history of the country. 4 – source2022-05-06T18:26:54.000Z
