Red Famine

"Red Famine" is Anne Applebaum’s magisterial and heartbreaking book about Stalin’s war on Ukraine.

Between 1932-33 Stalin led almost four million Ukrainians starve to death in one of the twentieth century’s most inhumane chapters. In "Red Famine" Anne Applebaum investigates with deep historical insight and details how this could happen and who was responsible. With archival material and first-hand testimonies from the survivors "Red Famine" is a disturbing account of the darkest inner evil of humans and what we do when we face starvation and death.
