The battlefields of the USSR witnessed the most devastating
confrontations of World War II. In every one of those battles,
Communist dictator Josef Stalin exercised his influence, meddling
with (and executing) his generals, hurling unprepared armies into
pure chaos, and meeting with his Western allies to divide the world
up into zones of influence that would soon be embroiled in a new
war. World War II scholar Hoyt describes the war from Stalin's
vantage point and shows how his decisions, especially his early
refusal to go to war with Germany even after they attacked, led to
the historic battles for Leningrad, Stalingrad, and Moscow. Hoyt
also explains how Stalin's bloody purges before the war left a
military bereft of leadership, yet opened the doors for Zhukov,
Chuikov, Rokossovsky, and other crucial commanders to spearhead a
Soviet victory. Stalin's War also examines Stalin's use of
propaganda to vilify the German army and blame Soviet war crimes
and human rights violations on the Nazis.
