Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin by Snyder, Timothy (September 1, 2011) Paperback

Well I did think I knew something about the subject but this book is still a major eyeopener.Without even much treatment of the concentration camps the dismal litany is terrifying. The regular german army is appropriately indicted for once.Also I'm glad Molotov was rumbled for the monster that he actually was.Hard to believe this all really happened in living memory..

Very small print, I need specs to read it.

Excellent history of the the countries trapped between Russia and Germany in the 20th Century and all the various horrific things that happened to them

Turgid writing style, repetitive, difficult to follow. But far worse, poorly referenced, selective on facts and seems to be following an agenda.
