writes about war from a young person's view #bannedbyrussia
#Winterkill tells the story of the very real #Holodomor – or Ukrainian Genocide – Stalin’s calculated attempt to exterminate the Ukrainians and their culture. Sound like today’s war in Ukraine? The parallels are shocking. #VelshiBannedBookClub pic.twitter.com/VPESU73Gsr

Because in a blink of an eye, the numbers will change. But this shows the power of Ali Velshi. Winterkill shot up on Amazon in both the US and Canada. In the US, Winterkill is currently at #40 overall and is #1 in several categories. Check it out:
I admire Ali Velshi’s fierce defense of freedom to read. His Banned Book Club sheds light on books that illuminate, educate and irritate. Everyone should be able to read what they want and being able to read a variety of books from all different viewpoints is the cornerstone of a democracy. It was such an honor to have Winterkill featured today on Ali Velshi’s Banned Book Club segment, particularly because Ali is in Kyiv right now, highlighting the injustices of russia’s genocidal war. This is so important with the anniversary of the war fast approaching.
I was particularly impressed with the superb research that went into the Holodomor backgrounder as an intro to Winterkill. Deep respect for Ali Velshi.
Here’s the interview:
And a really good backgrounder on the Holodomor here:
