Parallel Lives
Fully Revised Second Edition
An exercise in comparative study of Hitler and Stalin, their careers and their war, assessed in a wealth of detail. Their lives are interweaved chronologically, chapter by chapter. The book is designed for general rather than academic readers, but it is accompanied by a formidable scholarly apparatus. This book provides an insight into the workings and developments of the minds of the dictators and their systems; and also examines the nature of tyranny and the practise of power politics.
