A Hunger Most Cruel: The Human Face of the 1932-1933 Terror-Famine in Soviet Ukraine

The theme of this book of Ukrainian short fiction translated into English is the terror-famine that ravaged Soviet Ukrainian territories in the early 1930s.

Intended for the general reader, A Hunger Most Cruel features selected works by three authors whose unflinching honesty and complementary perspectives on the horrific events around which their narratives are constructed create a compelling set of vivid, disturbing, and haunting images of the human toll that this ideologically motivated artificial famine exacted.
