Soviet Communism and Agrarian Revolution examines communist agriculture, collectivisation, food production, and agrarian policy in the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, China, and Cuba. Written by Roy D. and Betty A. Laird, the book questions whether communist systems were able to solve the problem of food production and argues that state and collective farming were often far less effective than their ideological claims suggested.
