Americans call the Second World War "the Good War." But before it even began, America's ally Stalin had killed millions of his own citizens-and kept killing them during and after the war. Before Hitler was defeated, he had murdered six million Jews and nearly as many other Europeans. At war's end, German and Soviet killing sites fell behind the Iron Curtain, leaving the history of mass killing in darkness. ? Assiduously researched, deeply humane, and utterly definitive, Bloodlands is a new kind of European history, presenting the mass murders committed by the Nazi and Stalinist regimes as two aspects of a single story. With a new afterword addressing the relevance of these events to the contemporary decline of democracy, Bloodlands is required reading for anyone seeking to understand the central tragedy of modern history and its meaning today.

Timothy Snyder uncovers the brutal history of how first Hitler's Nazis and then Stalin carved up Ukraine. The mass executions and forced famines, evacuations to certain death in Siberian camps, were never forgotten. Re-occupation by ethnic Russians may have taken eastern territories from Ukraine, but not the memories. Snyder's ongoing work on Ukraine can still be found in The New York Review of Books (nybooks.com) and elsewhere.

Fascinating
A riveting and informative account of a tragic time in a region that saw two forms of totalitarian dictatorships. An exceptional read indeed.

A Game Changer
Snyder's research is exhaustive, his thesis unique, and his writing superb. After reading this, you will never think of WWII in the same way again.

The title explains....
Because of the content, it's difficult for me to finish this book, though it's well-written.
