<p><b>FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF <i>THE HOLOCAUST</i> AND <i>THE NAZI MIND </i><br><br>'You have to read it'</b> Volodymyr Zelensky<br><br><b>'Laurence Rees brilliantly combines powerful eye-witness testimony, vivid narrative and compelling analysis in this superb account'</b> Professor Sir Ian Kershaw<br><br><b>'In this fascinating study of two monsters, Rees is extraordinarily perceptive and original'</b> Antony Beevor<br><br>Two tyrants. Each responsible for the death of millions. <br><br>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.<br><br>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 <b>- </b>in Hitler's case, most infamously the Holocaust - in order to build the utopias they wanted.<br><br>Using previously unpublished, startling eyewitness testimony from soldiers, civilians and those who knew both men personally, Laurence Rees - probably the only person alive who has met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.</p>
