In the Shadow of Stalin: The Story of Mr. Jones, In the Shadow of Stalin: The Story of Mr. Jones

Can the unrelenting power of truth expose one of Stalin’s greatest crimes to a world that refuses to bear witness? From journalist and screenwriter Andrea Chalupa and artist Ivan Rodrigues, this powerful new historical graphic novel reexamines the bravery and tragedy that first thrust Ukraine in the international spotlight in the years before World War II. In the early 1930s, young journalist Gareth Jones travels to the Soviet Union for a story and stumbles upon a growing man-made famine, or Holodomor, happening in Ukraine under the government's guidance. Seeking the truth in all its ugliness, he embarks on a journey of discovery, strife, and a cover-up of the deaths of millions of people . . .
