This is a fantastically well-written book that explains brilliantly the thought processes, both economic and geopolitical, that led to disaster. It's incredibly depressing, but massively illuminating. The post-truth nature of information, coupled with the mix of misguided pacifism, non-interventionism and appeasement certainly scares me in our current circumstances. I urge you to read it.

This is a fascinating and brilliantly written book. But by God, it's depressing. My main takeaway so far is that Stalin may well have been the worst human ever to have set foot on this planet. And, despite already knowing quite a lot about Russian and German history, that's not a prize I expected him to take, considering the opposition.
