The definitive history of Hitler and Stalin's politics of mass killing, explaining why Ukraine has been at the center of Western history for the last century, from the author of the international bestseller, On Tyranny.

Americans call the Second World War "the Good War." But before it even began, America's ally Stalin had killed millions of his own citizens, and kept killing them during and after the war. Before Hitler was defeated, he had murdered six million Jews and nearly as many other Europeans. At war's end, German and Soviet killing sites fell behind the Iron Curtain, leaving the history of mass killing in darkness.

Assiduously researched, deeply humane, and utterly definitive, Bloodlands is a new kind of European history, presenting the mass murders committed by the Nazi and Stalinist regimes as two aspects of a single story. Bloodlands is a required reading for anyone seeking to understand the central tragedy of modern history and its meaning today.

Kritikerstimmen

"A startling new interpretation of the period ... a stunning book."—David Denby, New Yorker
"A superb and harrowing history."—Financial Times
"Genuinely shattering.... I have never seen a book like it."—Istvan Deak, New Republic
"A brave and original history of mass killing in the twentieth century."—Anne Applebaum, New York Review of Books
"A magisterial work.... Snyder's account in engaging, encyclopedic."—Foreign Affairs
"Gripping and comprehensive.... Mr. Snyder's book is revisionist history of the best kind: in spare, closely argued prose, with meticulous use of statistics, he makes the reader rethink some of the best-known episodes in Europe's modern history."—Economist
"Snyder...compels us to look squarely at the full range of destruction committed first by Stalin's regime and then by Hitler's Reich.... A comprehensive and eloquent account."—New York Times Book Revew
"A superb work of scholarship, full of revealing detail, cleverly compiled...and in places beautifully written.... Snyder does justice to the horror of his subject through the power of storytelling."—The Sunday Times (London)

Fürchterliche Schicksale in den „Bloodlands“

Zahlreiche Inhalte waren neu und lehrreich. Vor allem die Analysen aus einem neuen- für mich unbekannten Blickwinkel sind im Kontext der aktuellen Lage interessant gewesen. Die Schilderungen sind erschreckend und grausam- keine leichte Kost…es sprengt die Vorstellungskraft neuer Generationen und sollten dennoch gehört/ gelesen werden.

Lehrreich und Grausam

It's an important part of history that needs to be documented and discussed, and this book does that well. It is, however, also an uncomfortable story to listen to. The account of detailed atrocities in the Bloodlands is nothing less than horrible. Yet, as the author shows, it is essential to acknowledge and remember that every one of us could be both a victim and a perpetrator, and that the crimes committed must be examined from various perspectives in order to assure they remain in history, and not just memory.

On a separate note, I wish the reader was better. I think Timothy Snyder himself would have been a perfect reader for this book.

A very heavy book that everyone should have read at least once. Well written and well read, the length was appropriate.
