STALINS WAR - SEAN MCMEEKIN KARTONIERT (TB)

A provocative  revisionist take on the Second World War” (Financial Times) by a prize-winning
historian We remember World War II as a struggle between good and evil  with Hitler propelling
events and the Allied powers saving the day. But Hitler’s armies did not fight in multiple
theaters  his empire did not span the Eurasian continent  and he did not inherit the spoils of
war. That role belonged to Joseph Stalin. Hitler’s genocidal ambition may have unleashed
Armageddon  but as celebrated historian Sean McMeekin shows  the conflicts that emerged were
distinctly shaped by Stalin’s maneuverings  orchestrated to unleash a war between Germany and
her capitalist adversaries in Europe and between Japan and the Anglo-Saxon” powers in Asia.
Meanwhile  the United States and Britain’s self-defeating strategy of supporting Stalin and his
armies at all costs allowed the Soviets to conquer most of Eurasia  from Berlin to Beijing  for
Communism. A groundbreaking reassessment  Stalin’s War is essential reading for anyone looking
to understand the roots of the current world order.
