Hitler y Stalin

This book on Hitler and Stalin -the culmination of thirty years of work- examines the two leaders during World War II, when Germany and the Soviet Union fought the biggest and bloodiest war in history, and shows us that although the Hitler's creation of the Holocaust remains an incomparable crime, seen with perspective, both had in common that they were prepared to create unimaginable suffering to build the utopias they wanted. Using unpublished and startling testimonies from Red Army and Wehrmacht soldiers, from civilians who suffered during the conflict, and from people who knew both men personally, Laurence Rees -probably the historian who has known more Germans and Russians who worked directly for Hitler and Stalin- challenges long-held misconceptions about two of history's most important figures. This is a masterpiece by one of our best historians.
