Knowing my strange fondness for reading about the USSR, my son gave me this book for Christmas (maybe he wants to borrow it now?). The book linked Leninism, Stalinism and Nazism in a way I have not seen it before. Rather than residing in my mind as disparate pieces of history, I saw how Nazi Germany and the newly formed USSR worked together until the initial attacks on Russia. It interested me to see how the enemies (USSR and Germany in WWII), worked together in exterminating the Jews. It was fascinating to see how philosophically closer to each other they were than I had previously thought: the racism (fascism) of the Nazis was not so far from the intolerance executed in the USSR by both Lenin and Stalin. It is the only book where I have found focused attention on the importance of Lenin, both his craft (state and otherwise) and his personal ideology. For history buffs, enjoyable! For me, highly enlightening and thought-provoking. ( ) Knowing my strange fondness for reading about the USSR, my son gave me this book for Christmas (maybe he wants to borrow it now?).

Referencias a esta obra en fuentes externas. Wikipedia en inglés (14)This ambitious book tells the story of the great social and political catastrophe that enveloped Europe between 1914 and 1945--a period of almost continuous upheaval, with two world wars, the Russian Revolution, the Holocaust, and the Third Reich. Historian Gellately argues that these tragedies are inextricably linked and that to consider them as discrete events is to misunderstand their genesis and character. Central to the catastrophe, of course, were Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler, and this book makes use of recently opened sources to explain how these dictators' pursuit of utopian--and dreadfully flawed--ideals led only to dystopian nightmare. Gellately argues that most comparative studies of the Soviet and Nazi dictatorships are undermined by neglecting the key importance of Lenin. Rejecting the myth of the "good" Lenin, the book provides a convincing social-historical account of all three dictatorships.--From publisher description.
