Robert Conquest's The Harvest of Sorrow helped to reveal to the West the true and staggering human cost of the Soviet regime in its deliberate starvation of millions of peasants and remains one of the most important works of Soviet history ever written.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.With 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.
