Omschrijving
For nearly two years the two most infamous dictators in history actively collaborated with one another. This book tells the story of the pact between Hitler and Stalin, from the motivation for its inception to its dramatic and abrupt end in 1941 as Germany declared war against its former partner.
The Devils' Alliance is a marvellous achievement. No event was more crucial to the outbreak of the Second World War than the Nazi-Soviet Pact of August 1939, and no one is better qualified to explore its grim implications than Roger Moorhouse
Superbly researched and academically impeccable, yet written with all the pace of a thriller, The Devils' Alliance shines a powerful beam into one of the undeservedly least known aspects of the Second World War
Meticulous and vividly readable… Moorhouse’s grim and compelling book could not be more topical
A highly enjoyable history written with verve and attention to detail
Superb
