Items related to Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin
* In the middle of Europe, in the middle of the twentieth century, the Nazi and Soviet regimes murdered fourteen million people in a zone of death between Berlin and Moscow.
* These were the bloodlands - today's Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, western Russia and the eastern Baltic coast. In a twelve-year period - 1933 to 1945 - as a result of deliberate polices unrelated to combat, an average of more than a million civilians were murdered annually. At the end of the Second World War the bloodlands fell behind the iron curtain, leaving their history in darkness.
* In this revelatory book Timothy Snyder offers a groundbreaking investigation of Europe's killing fields and a sustained explanation of the motives and methods of both Hitler and Stalin. He anchors the history of Hitler's Holocaust and Stalin's Terror in their time and place and provides a fresh account of the relationship between the two regimes. Using scholarly literature and primary sources in all relevant languages, Snyder pays special attention to the testimony of the victims: the letters home, the notes flung from trains, the diaries found on corpses.
* Brilliantly researched, profoundly humane, authoritative and original, Bloodlands re-examines the greatest tragedy in European history and forces us to rethink our past.

Review:
"scintillating... cogently argued"--Daily Express
"[Snyder's] use of Polish sources makes this book almost unique for English-language readers...superb"--Literary Review
"a superb work of scholarship, full of revealing detail, cleverly compiled from a number of previously little-known sources"--Sunday Times
"Gripping and comprehensive... revisionist history of the best kind: in spare, closely argued prose, with meticulous use of statistics"--The Economist
"Snyder set out to give a human face to the many millions of victims of totalitarianism. He has succeeded admirably."--Roger Moorehouse, BBC History Magazine
"...the figures are so huge and so awful that grief could grow numb. But Snyder, who is a noble writer as well as a great researcher, knows that. He asks us not to think in those round numbers."--The Guardian
