Story
Arguably no person in history had such a direct and negative impact on the lives of so many as Joseph Stalin. Under the Red Tsar terror knew no limits, it did not discriminate; no one was safe, no institution, no single town or village was immune. Yet, following his death in 1953, Stalin was deeply mourned. He had "received the country with a wooden plough, and left it with a nuclear missile shield." And no-one else, some claimed, could have led the Soviet Union to victory in the Second World War.

Europe's great powers were dragged, one by one, into a war by Serbian conflict which affected very few of them directly. At least it would resemble the short sharp battles of the previous century, many thought - fought with military bands, horsemen, and swift victories.

Captures All of the Highlights!
In this short overview of Nazi Germany, author Rupert Colley writes about the coming to power of Nazi Germany after World War I and the emergence of Adolf Hitler. The story has been told many times before, and this is no exception, as Colley tells it very well.
Even though this particular book is only an hour long, and touches on all the highlights, I still got a real good sense of history and all the things that went on during that era of Nazi Germany.
For anyone with an interest in history (whether it within an hour or not) this is a great book for you!
