59) Crimes and Mercies (1997) James Bacque describes how he
confronted New York Times reporter Drew Middleton with evidence that after the
war, the U.S. starved to death over one million German POWs.
"What Middleton told me basically was that, yes, he had lied in 1945 and no, it did not matter to him or the New York Times if I exposed this." "Middleton's sense of security, his
sense of the New York Times' power, took my breath away", Bacque writes. "But
worse than that, Middleton did not care about this atrocity... the New York Times
witnessed it, then denied that it happened. And has gone on denying it into the
1990's."

The second part of the book encompasses materials from 32 Ukrainian villages, including taped conversations of dialectal speech made between 1962-1965. The texts offer interesting data for dialectology as well as for sociolinguistic, ethnographic, and folklore studies.
"During his reign over USSR, Joseph Stalin oversaw the forced resettlement of people by the millions--a maniacal passion that he used for social engineering. The Soviets were not the first to thrust resettlement on their population but in terms of sheer numbers, technologies used to deport people and the lawlessness which accompanied it, Stalin's process was the most notable. Six million people of different social and ethnic background and professions were resettled before Stalin's death. Contents range from the early 1920s to the rehabilitation of repressed nationalities in the1990s, dealing with internal (kulaks, ethnic and political deportations) and international forced migrations (German internees and occupied territories).
