Stalin’s War

In "Stalin's War," prize-winning historian Sean McMeekin presents a provocative revisionist history of the Second World War, arguing that Joseph Stalin’s USSR was the war's central driving force rather than Adolf Hitler and the Allied powers. McMeekin meticulously details how Stalin manipulated conflicts that emerged, facilitating a brutal struggle between Germany and its capitalist adversaries in Europe, as well as Japan and the "Anglo-Saxon" powers in Asia. He critiques the self-defeating strategies of the United States and Britain in their support of Stalin, which ultimately allowed the Soviets to expand their influence across Eurasia. This groundbreaking assessment offers essential insights into the roots of today's global order.
