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.
