Hitler and Stalin : Parallel Lives

Alan Bullock's bestselling and monumental masterpiece, now in a revised Second Edition 'It is practically unprecedented to take two such monsters as Hitler and Stalin, who never met, and interweave their lives chronologically, chapter by chapter, often paragraph by paragraph, as Bullock has done!a triumph of organization, lucidity and perspective.' John Campbell, The Times 'Compulsive reading. The sweep is broad and the information concisely conveyed without any sign of pedantry!a titanic narrative history.' Zara Steiner, Financial Times 'An astonishing feat of organization, brilliantly illuminating the tragic history of the twentieth century.' Philip Ziegler, Daily Telegraph Books of the Year 'If you knew nothing about the twentieth century and were allowed one book to bone up on it, this would have to be it.' Alex Campbell, Daily Mail
