Summary:  "The harrowing, little-known story of the ARA, an American effort to save the newly-formed Soviet Union from a disastrous famine"---Provided by publisher 1921. Facing one of the worst famines in history, the new Soviet government under Vladimir Lenin invited the American Relief Administration, Herbert Hoover's brainchild, to save communist Russia from ruin. For two years a small band of Americans fed more than ten million men, women, and children across a million square miles of territory. They prevented the loss of countless lives, social unrest on a massive scale, and, quite possibly, the collapse of the communist state-- and the Soviet government managed to erase the memory of American charity. Smith resurrects the story of the ARA: a story filled with political intrigue, espionage, the clash of ideologies, violence, adventure, and romance, and some of the great historical figures of the twentieth century. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Calmar Campus Library Circulation Stacks (Calmar) 947.0841 Smi 2019 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Peosta Library Circulation Stacks 947.0841 Smi 2019 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
