Requests:  0 Summary:  "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 behavior in response to events. But at a macro level, both were prepared to create catastrophic 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, Stalin campaign of human atrocities liken him to his opponent more than history has remembered. Using previously unpublished, startling eyewitness testimony from soldiers of the Red Army and Wehrmacht, civilians who suffered during the conflict, and those who knew both men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 challenges the long-held popular misconceptions about two of the most important figures in history. This is a master work from one of our finest historians."-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.5343 Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList
