Comment : Hitler and Stalin - Laurence Rees - 2021 / The Tyrants and the Second World War / / By: Laurence Rees / Narrated by: John Sackville / Length: 18 hrs and 17 mins / Unabridged Audiobook / Release date: 02-02-21 / Language: English / Genre: History, Europe / Publisher: PublicAffairs / Format: mp3 64/48 mono / / Publisher’s Summary / / An award-winning historian plumbs the depths of Hitler and Stalin’s vicious regimes, and shows the extent to which they brutalized the world around them. / / Two 20th century tyrants stand apart from all the rest in terms of their ruthlessness and the degree to which they changed the world around them. Briefly allies during World War II, Adolph Hitler and Josef Stalin then tried to exterminate each other in sweeping campaigns unlike anything the modern world had ever seen, affecting soldiers and civilians alike. Millions of miles of Eastern Europe were ruined in their fight to the death, millions of lives sacrificed. / / Laurence Rees has met more people who had direct experience of working for Hitler and Stalin than any other historian. Using their evidence he has pieced together a compelling comparative portrait of evil, in which idealism is polluted by bloody pragmatism, and human suffering is used casually as a political tool. It’s a jaw-dropping description of two regimes stripped of moral anchors and doomed to destroy each other, and those caught up in the vicious magnetism of their leadership. / / ©2020 Laurence Rees (P)2020 PublicAffairs / / Critic Reviews / / “This richly detailed history powerfully documents the destruction that tyrants with utopian visions can inflict upon the world.” (Publishers Weekly) / / “Presenting this complex history with his usual clarity, his latest study is an enthralling read, weaving many fresh eyewitness accounts into the narrative, offering new insights and commanding his reader’s attention despite the huge scope of his task.” (Julia Boyd, author of Travelers in the Third Reich) / / “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) / Hitler and Stalin - Laurence Rees - 2021 / The Tyrants and the Second World War / / By: Laurence Rees / Narrated by: John Sackville / Length: 18 hrs and 17 mins / Unabridged Audiobook / Release date: 02-02-21 / Language: English / Genre: History, Europe / Publisher: PublicAffairs / Format: mp3 64/48 mono / / Publisher’s Summary / / An award-winning historian plumbs the depths of Hitler and Stalin’s vicious regimes, and shows the extent to which they brutalized the world around them. / / Two 20th century tyrants stand apart from all the rest in terms of their ruthlessness and the degree to which they changed the world around them.
