More deaths resulted from the actions described in this book than from the whole of the First World War. Epic in scope and rich in detail, The Harvest of Sorrow describes how millions of peasants in the USSR were dispossessed and deported as a result of the abolition of private property, and how millions in the newly established 'collective' farms of the Ukraine and other regions were then deliberately starved to death through impossibly high quotas, the removal of all other sources of food and their isolation from outside help.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith the publication of this and his earlier book, The Great Terror, which revealed the truth about Stalin's political purges, Robert Conquest revealed to the West the staggering human cost of the Soviet regime.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback \u003cbr\u003e Published: UK, 2018\u003cbr\u003e Publisher: Vintage Publishing\u003cbr\u003e Pages: 448\u003cbr\u003e Language: English\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 13: 9781847925671\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 10:1847925677\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Robert Conquest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43592867250442,"sku":"","price":25.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/9781847925671.jpg?v=1656331313","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/the-harvest-of-sorrow-soviet-collectivisation-and-the-terror-famine","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
