A major contribution. - Roman Serbyn, editor of Famine in Ukraine, 1932-1933 After reading Starving Ukraine , no one can say they 'didn't know.' Indeed, this compelling, pitiless, but always readable account of the revelation of the Great Famine, engineered by the Stalinist state, reveals the breadth and depth of public discussion across Canada about what was happening in Soviet Ukraine. Our newspapers and magazines, left and right, town halls and Legion halls, legislatures and even the Alberta Wheat Pool all weighed in, in an often heart-breaking, often nerve-wracking, and always dramatic discourse about the ransom paid in human suffering to raisons d'etat cruelly masquerading as Revolution. - Myrna Kostach, author of Bloodlines and All of Baba's Children A must-read for students of the Holodomor. - Myroslav Shkandrij, author of Ukrainian Nationalism and Russia and Ukraine An important contribution. - Thomas Prymak, author of Gathering a Heritage: Ukrainian, Slavonic, and Ethnic Canada and the USA "[ A]n important work [ that] speaks to our current dangerous climate of fake news, attacks on journalists, and the loss of independent news sources, while demonstrating the vital importance of a robust press, an informed citizenry, and local activism."James Daschuk, author of Clearing the Plains "The book is well organized, written in a lively, engaging style that will appeal to both an academic and a popular audience."
