Stalin's Two Famines
By Peter Wiles
The Harvest of Sorrow: Soviet Collectivization and the Terror–Famine
by Robert Conquest
Oxford University Press, 412 pp., $19.95
Robert Conquest is one of those rare gifted beings who can combine in one book the results of research, documented and footnoted, with the haute vulgarisation thereof. So The Harvest of Sorrow is a very good book 'in both kinds'—and let no mere academic say which is more honorable.
