A review by piotrjawor
Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin by Timothy Snyder

4.0

Depressing and painful read. Would probably not read it right now if not some very interesting Snyder's articles on Ukraine in NYRB. Honest writing, giving full justice not only to Jews, but also to Poles, Ukrainians and Belarusians. A bit repetitive, bet that mainly due to author's academic backround, and too much statistics - major weakness for me. But still very imporatant book.
