Description

Laurence Rees brilliantly combines powerful eye-witness testimony, vivid narrative and compelling analysis in this superb account Professor Sir Ian Kershaw, author of Hitler: Hubris and Hitler: Nemesis

In this fascinating study of two monsters, Rees is extraordinarily perceptive and original Antony Beevor
_____________________

Two tyrants.Each responsible for the death of millions.

This compelling book on Hitler and Stalin - the culmination of thirty years work - examines the two leaders during the Second World War, when Germany and the Soviet Union fought the biggest and bloodiest war in history.

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 as bestselling historian Laurence Rees shows, at a macro level, both were prepared to create undreamt-of suffering - in Hitler s case, most infamously the Holocaust - in order to build the utopias they wanted.

Using previously unpublished, startling eyewitness testimony from soldiers, civilians and those who knew both men personally, Laurence Rees - probably the only person alive who has met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 master work from one of our finest historians.
_____________________

Coming from one of the world s experts on the Second World War, this is an important and original - and devastating - account of Hitler and Stalin as dictators. A must read Professor Robert Service, author of Stalin: A Biography

Impressive . . . well paced and well informed with an eye for telling anecdotes and colourful character sketches . . . Rees decision to add personal stories to his narrative adds an important layer to our understanding of both the dictators themselves and their victims Robert Gerwarth, The Daily Telegraph
