GRAND DELUSION STALIN AND THE GERMAN INVASION OF RUSSIA
Book Type: S By Gabriel Gorodetsky. Draws on vital new archival material to unravel the mystery of Hitler's invasion of Russia and Stalin's enigmatic behavior on the eve of the attack. Gorodetsky challenges the popular view that Stalin was about to invade Germany when Hitler attacked, and that Stalin was eagerly anticipating a peace conference where various accords imposed on Russia would be revised. The delusion of being able to dictate a new European order blinded him to the lurking German danger, and his erroneous diagnosis of the political scene - colored by his perennial suspicion of Great Britain - led him to misconstrue the evidence of his own and Britain's intelligence services. The author highlights the sequence of military blunders that resulted from Stalin's determination to appease Germany - blunders that provide the key to understanding the calamity that befell Russia on June 1941. 424 pp. ![]() |
