Description

The Soviet Union in World War II was a complex and multifaceted experience that spanned an entire continent. Mark Edele's Stalinism at War offers a compelling re-examination of this period, weaving together the stories of ordinary citizens with high-level politics to reveal how the Soviet Union played a crucial role in Allied victory. From the early involvement in the war in Asia to the bloody counter-insurgency in Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltics, Edele explores the experiences of Russians, Koreans, Ukrainians, Jews, Lithuanians and Georgians, among others. This authoritative account draws on material from both above and below, uniting military, economic and political history with popular histories from the ground up. The result is an engaging and intelligent narrative that sheds new light on a pivotal moment in modern history, spanning nearly a decade from 1937 to 1949.
