* Harris, James. The Great Fear: Stalin's Reign of Terror in the 1930s, (Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2017)
Between the winter of 1936 and the autumn of 1938, approximately three-quarters of a million Soviet citizens were subject to summary execution. More than a million others were sentenced to lengthy terms in labor camps. Commonly known as 'Stalin's Great Terror', it is also among the most misunderstood moments in the history of the twentieth century.
In <i>Red Famine</i>, Anne Applebaum argues that more than three million Ukrainians died in the 1930s not because they were accidental victims of bad policy but because the state deliberately set out to kill them. Devastating and definitive, Red Famine captures the horror of ordinary people struggling to survive extraordinary evil.
