Compelling tale of state sponsored famine

Appleby dissects the horrific Ukrainian famine of 1932/3 and its role in destroying Ukrainian national identity. Botched economics, inept bureaucracy and the dogmatic evil of the CPSU led to the death of nearly four million people. Still glossed over by the pathetic and corrupt apologists for Stalinism, this is a warning of the evils of unaccountable power.
