A review by johnboyce
Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin by Timothy Snyder
5.0
A wide-ranging, informative, illuminating, instructive and harrowing history of the traumas endured by the various populations located between Germany and Russia between 1933 and 1945. Especially obviously the Jewish population of that region but also the Poles and Ukrainians amongst many others.
It gives, as far as possible, the numbers killed, the methods used, the rationales given, and the broad identities of the principal perpetrators.
There was much more in this book than the broad outline of mid 20th C history that I already held in my head.
An important book, if hard to read at times from an emotional perspective.
