This remarkably ambitious book tells the story of the great social & political catastrophe that enveloped Europe between 1914 & 1945. In a period of almost continuous upheaval society was transformed by two world wars, the Russian Revolution, the Holocaust & the rise & fall of the
Third Reich.

Combining a powerful narrative with profound analysis, acclaimed historian Robert Gellately argues that these tragedies are inextricably linked & that to consider them as discrete events is to misunderstand their genesis & character. Central, of course, to the catastrophe were the dictators Lenin, Stalin, & Hitler & this book makes unprecedented use of recently opened Russian & German sources to explain how their pursuit of utopian
- & dreadfully flawed
- ideals led only to dystopian nightmare.

In a groundbreaking work Robert Gellately makes clear that most comparative studies of the Soviet & Nazi dictatorships are undermined by neglecting the key importance of Lenins role. The author rejects the myth of the 'good' Lenin & demonstrates his centrality in the unfolding drama. The book
provides a powerful social-historical account of all three dictatorships & carefully documents their similarities & differences. It traces the escalation of conflicts between Communism & Nazism & shows how the vicious rivalry between Stalin & Hitler led inescapably to a war of annihilation & genocide. The reverberations of this gargantuan struggle are felt everywhere to this day.
