L Frost’s Reviews > Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin > Status Update

This is slow reading. You have to stop and process each concept. This is one of the most eye opening and enlightening books about Hitler and Stalin I've ever read. The death toll we usually hear is a drop in the bucket to the millions who died at the hands of both men. Each leader's rationale is hard to comprehend. The book goes into far more depth about their ideologies, politics and strategies.

Fascinating look at Stalin and Hitler and their corresponding ideologies, politics, and tactics. Slow and difficult to read at times because there's much to process and comprehend on each page. Heartbreaking that 14 million lives were lost in this region including 6 million Jews of the Holocaust.
