Half a century after their deaths, the dictatorships of Stalin and Hitler still cast a long and terrible shadow over the modern world. They were the most destructive and lethal regimes in history, murdering millions. They fought the largest and costliest war in all history. Yet millions of Germans and Russians enthusiastically supported them and the values they stood for. In this first major study of the two dictatorships side-by-side Richard Overy sets out to answer the question: How was dictatorship possible? How did they function? What was the bond that tied dictator and people so powerfully together? He paints a remarkable and vivid account of the different ways in which Stalin and Hitler rose to power, and abused and dominated their people. It is a chilling analysis of powerful ideals corrupted by the vanity of ambitious and unscrupulous men.

A very good copy. --- 'The only way to deal with enemies is to apply the most ruthless policy of suppression' JOSEF STALIN -- 'Mankind has grown strong in eternal struggles and it will only perish through eternal peace' ADOLF HITLER -- Half a century after their deaths, the dictatorships of Stalin and Hitler still cast a long and terrible shadow over the modern world. They presided over the most destructive and lethal regimes in history, murdering millions. They fought the largest and costliest war in all history. Yet millions of Germans and Russians enthusiastically supported them and the values they stood for. In the first major history to analyse in depth the two regimes and their populations together, Richard Overy sets out to answer the questions: How was dictatorship possible? How did it function? What was the bond that tied dictator and people so powerfully together? Overy paints a remarkable and vivid account of the different ways in which Stalin and Hitler rose to power and abused and dominated their people. The Dictators is a chilling analysis of power corrupted by the vanity of ambitious and unscrupulous men. --- CONTENTS: List of Illustrations - - List of Tables and Maps - - Maps - - Abbreviations - - Preface - - Introduction: Comparing Dictatorships - - 1 Stalin and Hitler: Paths to Dictatorship - - 2 The Art of Ruling - - 3 Cults of Personality - - 4 The Party State - - 5 States of Terror - - 6 Constructing Utopia - - 7 The Moral Universe of Dictatorship - - 8 Friend and Foe: Popular Responses to Dictatorship - - 9 Cultural Revolutions - - 10 Commanding the Economy - - 11 Military Superpowers - - 12 Total War - - 13 Nations and Races - - 14 Empire of the Camps - - Conclusion: Two Dictatorships - - Bibliography - - Notes - - Index.
