Title: Reflections of a Historian of Stalinst Depravity
Review: For a long while, Robert Conquest was a controversial figure, for he saw and illuminated the monstrous evil of Stalinism. The Harvest of Sorrow is one of my most indispensable books, as it documents the millions of Ukranians who were sacrificed on the altar of collectivization. After a lifetime of looking at depths of human depravity in the modern era, Conquest has written a sober, reflective work that lays the harvest of corpses at the feet of the twin radical ideologies of Communism and National Socialism. Finally, he is more than a "Eurosceptic," being a scholar who is convinced that the European Union is not merely divisive, but doomed to failure. Conquest writes well and this book is full of insights that any student of history should enjoy.
