The Harvest of Sorrow: Soviet Collectivization and the Terror-famine

Renting vs. Buying This Textbook

Renting is usually cheapest if you only need the book for one term: you return it with a free prepaid label when the term ends. Buying used can beat renting when the sell-back price is high, so compare the sell-back price with the rental price before you decide. An eTextbook arrives instantly but usually expires. Rentals and used copies rarely include working access codes.

Always match the ISBN on your syllabus (9780195051803) before you order; different editions have different ISBNs.

About This Book

The 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. Robert Conquest specifically focuses on dekulakization, collectivization, and the imposition of a "terror-famine" between 1932 and 1933 on the collectivized peasants of the Ukraine and certain other areas. More deaths resulted from the actions described in this book--an estimated 14.5 million--than the total number of deaths for all countries in World War I. Conquest's ambitious and clearly written book presents 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.
