This compelling book on Hitler and Stalin - the culmination of
thirty years' work - examines the two tyrants during the Second
World War, when Germany and the Soviet Union fought the biggest and
bloodiest war in history. Yet despite the fact they were bitter
opponents, Laurence Rees shows that Hitler and Stalin were, to a
large extent, different sides of the same coin. Hitler's
charismatic leadership may contrast with Stalin's regimented rule
by fear; and his intransigence later in the war may contrast with
Stalin's change in behaviour in response to events. But at a macro
level, both were prepared to create undreamt of suffering, destroy
individual liberty and twist facts in order to build the Utopia
they wanted, and while Hitler's creation of the Holocaust remains a
singular crime, Rees shows why we must not forget that Stalin
committed a series of atrocities at the same time. Using previously
unpublished, startling eyewitness testimony from soldiers of the
Red Army and Wehrmacht, civilians who suffered during the conflict,
and those who knew both men personally, bestselling historian
Laurence Rees - probably the only person alive who has met Germans
who worked for Hitler and Russians who worked for Stalin -
challenges long-held popular misconceptions about two of the most
important figures in history. This is a masterwork from one of our
finest historians.
