Stalin’s starved millions: Anne Applebaum uncovers full horror of Ukraine famine

The sub-headline:

In 1932-33 a famine sparked by Soviet policy swept the country, leaving almost 4m dead and driving parents to cannibalism.  The Kremlin tried to keep it hidden but in a new book the Pulitzer Prize-winning author Anne Applebaum uncovers the devastation

That would be Ms Anne Applebaum, a winner of a Pulitzer Prize, which justifies the Instapundit's comment:

DESPITE HIS 85-YEAR LEAD, SHE STILL SCOOPED WALTER DURANTY

Who did get a Pulitzer for his non-reporting on the Holodomor

This from The Sunday Times, 3 September 2017,

Here is the lede:

The warning signs were ample.  By the early spring of 1932 the peasants of Ukraine were beginning to starve. Secret police reports and letters from the grain-growing districts all across the Soviet Union spoke of children swollen with hunger, of families eating grass and acorns and of peasants fleeing home in search of food.  In March a medical commission found corpses lying on the street in a village near Odessa.  No one was strong enough to bury them.

The book, Red Famine: Stalin's War on Ukraine, is available on Kindle for $14.99.
