Bloodlands : Europe

between Hitler and Stalin

 By
Timothy Snyder
Vintage Publishing
 Under Hitler and Stalin the Nazi and Soviet regimes murdered
fourteen million people in the bloodlands between Berlin and
Moscow.

The killing fields extended from central Polads to western Russia.

For twelve savage years, on this bloodsoaked soil an average of one
million individuals - mostly women, children and the aged - were
murdered every year. Though in 1939 these lands became
battlefields, not one of these fourteen million was killed in combat.
They were victims of a murderous policy, not casualties of war.

Int his deeply unsettling and revelatory book, Timothy Snyder gives
voice to the testimony of the victims through the letters home, the
notes flung from trains, the diaries on corpses. It is a brilliantly
researched, profoundly humane and authoritative bok that demands
we pay attention to those that history is in danger of forgetting.
