Published on the 70
th
anniversary of the 1932-1933 Famine in Ukraine, the book presents an analysis of documents about the Famine found in Western and Russian archives. It examines reports about the Famine sent at the time by the German, Italian, and British consulates to their governments. Up to now, little has been written about these reports. The reports give a shocking picture of the unbelievable tragedy that the Famine was. They also indicate that the Famine was brought about intentionally by the Soviet government of the time. The book examines Famine witness testimonies collected both in the West and in Ukraine since its independence. It shows the pressure exerted by the Soviet regime on the Western press to deny the Famine and the willingness of some reporters to comply. It also contains an article on the letters by Stalin, recently discovered in the Russian archives, linking the Famine to Stalin's hatred of the Ukrainian independence movement of the time. The book also examines two other famines in Ukraine spawned by the Soviet regime in the twentieth century. An extensive bibliography on the 1932-1933 Famine is included.
