Main description:

An estimated six million people perished in the famine of 1921-23 in Soviet Russia and Ukraine, but millions survived thanks to American food and medical relief. This book, richly illustrated with photographs, posters, and documents from the Hoover Institution Library & Archives, focuses on the lesser-known role of the medical intervention, including a large-scale vaccination drive.
