Description
Stalin's War: A New History Of World War II by Sean McMeekin is a major reevaluation of the global conflict that reshaped the world. Contrary to popular perception, the Second World War was not Hitler's war, but rather Stalin's, driven by the Soviet leader's ambitions and strategic goals. Drawing on new research in archives from the Soviet Union, Europe, and the US, McMeekin reveals the extent to which Stalin's war machine relied on American supplies and technology to fuel the Red Army's advance. The war in Europe and the Pacific were not the outcomes Stalin desired, but rather the means to achieve his ultimate goal of a devastating war of attrition against the "Anglo-Saxon" capitalist powers he viewed as his adversary. McMeekin's book provides a fresh perspective on the conflict, one that challenges the traditional narrative and sheds new light on the complex web of alliances and rivalries that shaped the war. With 831 pages, this hardcover edition offers a comprehensive and authoritative account of one of the most pivotal moments in modern history.
