In essays written jointly by specialists on Soviet and German
history, the contributors to this book rethink and rework the
nature of Stalinism and Nazism and establish a new methodology for
viewing their histories that goes well beyond the now-outdated
twentieth-century models of totalitarianism, ideology, and
personality. Doing the labor of comparison gives us the means to
ascertain the historicity of the two extraordinary regimes and the
wreckage they have left. With the end of the Cold War and the
collapse of the Soviet Union, scholars of Europe are no longer
burdened with the political baggage that constricted research and
conditioned interpretation and have access to hitherto closed
archives. The time is right for a fresh look at the two gigantic
dictatorships of the twentieth century and for a return to the
original intent of thought on totalitarian regimes - understanding
the intertwined trajectories of socialism and nationalism in
European and global history.
