The dictators
Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Russia
Book • 2004
This book is a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the dictatorships of Hitler and Stalin.
It is not a dual biography but rather a statistical and empirical examination of the two regimes.
Richard Overy explores how these dictatorships functioned, the ways in which Hitler and Stalin rose to power, and the mechanisms by which they dominated their people.
The book delves into the ideological constructs, the apparatus of terror, totalitarian morality, and the command economy of both regimes.
Overy also examines why millions of Germans and Russians supported these regimes and the values they represented, despite their destructive and lethal nature.
