Between 1929 and 1932 the Soviet Communist Party struck a double blow at the Russian peasantry: dekulakization, the dispossession and deportation of millions of peasant families, \u003cbr\u003eand collectivization, the abolition of private ownership of land and the concentration of the remaining peasants in party-controlled \"collective\" farms. This was followed in 1932-33 by a \"terror-famine,\" inflicted by the State on the collectivized peasants of the Ukraine and certain other areas by\u003cbr\u003esetting impossibly high grain quotas, removing every other source of food, and preventing help from outside--even from other areas of the Soviet Union--from reaching the starving populace. The death toll resulting from the actions described in this book was an estimated 14.5 million--more than the\u003cbr\u003etotal number of deaths for all countries in World War I. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmbitious, meticulously researched, and lucidly written, \u003cem\u003eThe Harvest of Sorrow\u003c\/em\u003e is a deeply moving testament to those who died, and will register in the Western consciousness a sense of the dark side of this century's history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first full history of one of the most horrendous human tragedies of the 20th century, The Harvest of Sorrow examines the atrocities inflicted on the Russian peasantry by the Soviet Communist party between 1929 and 1933.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Conquest\u003c\/strong\u003e is Senior Research Fellow and Scholar-Curator of the East European Collection at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University.
