How the United States saved a starving Soviet Russia: PBS film highlights Hoover scholar's research on the 1921-23 famine
The film is based on Hoover research fellow Bertrand Patenaude's The Big Show in Bololand: The American Relief Expedition to Soviet Russia in the Famine of 1921. The world barely remembers the terrible famine in the Soviet Russia–or the American charity that relieved it. Patenaude tells how Herbert Hoover saved more lives than any person who has ever lived.
