Harvest of Sorrow

The Harvest of Sorrow by Robert Conquest (338.763 CON) is not a light read. It's an extremely serious look at how the Communist Party in the USSR took away the private land from the citizens and formed "collective" farms. This occurred between 1929 and 1932.


Then in '32 and '33, the government deported millions of people and created a widespread famine by increasing the peasants quota that the government would receive, and did not allow outside countries to help the starving millions.
