Reading through what Stalin did to cripple Russia prior to WWII is both eye opening & makes me grieve for the generations who were raised under this tyranny. Stalin & Hitler were both totalitarians, Communism being far left & Fascism being far right - both wanted full governmental control over everything. I highly recommend this book. It is not a work of fiction. This is history.
