Thanks also for the fine comments from Jams O Donnell and Dick Stanley.<br /><br />It is incredible to realize that two of the world's greatest nations, Germany and Russia should both be ruled at the same time by these two gigantic mass murderers. This story in all its complexity is something that must be taught to each generation and never be forgotten.<br /><br />Allen Bullock's "Hitler and Stalin: Parallel Lives" (1993) is perhaps the best history of both men by a great historian.

I will have to visit his blog more frequently.<br /><br />I'll fast forward to the end - hating Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot and the others may be historically incorrect (I don't think so though) but utterly correct on a moral and humanitarian level and that will do for me.<br /><br />As for hiostory perhaps we would be better off staring our histories in the face and learning from it rather than creating some bullshit idllyic past.jams o donnellnoreply@blogger.com
