This brilliant new work by the author of the best-selling Five Days in London, May 1940 is an unparalleled drama of two great leaders confronting each other in June 1941. It describes Hitler and Stalin's strange, calculating, and miscalculating relationship before the German invasion of Soviet Russia, with its gigantic (and unintended) consequences. John Lukacs questions many long-held beliefs; he suggests, for example, that among other things Hitler's first purpose involved England: if Stalin's Communist Russia were to be defeated, Hitler's Third Reich would be well-nigh invincible, and the British and American peoples would be forced to rethink the war against Hitler. The book offers penetrating insights and a new portrait of Hitler and Stalin, moved by their long-lasting inclinations. Yet among other things, Lukacs presents evidence that Hitler (rather than his generals) had moments of dark foreboding before the invasion. Stalin could not, because he wished not, believe that Hitler would choose the risk of a two-front war by attacking him; he was stunned and shocked and came close to a breakdown. But he recovered, grew into a statesman, and eventually became a prime victor of the Second World War. Such are the ironies of history; John Lukacs paints them with a shining narrative skill.… (plus d'informations)

Quando concentrano il loro sguardo su un grande avvenimento gli storici ne ricercano le cause profonde in alcuni fattori collettivi: gli interessi dei gruppi economici, i conflitti sociali, l'ideologia delle classi dirigenti, dei partiti, della casta militare. John Lukacs segue un altro percorso. Fissa la sua attenzione sulle giornate cruciali che precedono l'avvenimento e sui grandi protagonisti. A differenza di molti storici del Novecento, questo studioso crede che la storia sia opera di alcuni giganti e che il solo modo per raccontarla sia quello di esplorarne la formazione, il pensiero, il carattere, la cultura, la moralità e l'immoralità. Lukacs mette in scena in questo libro due "geni del male", Hitler e Stalin e ne ricostruisce le relazioni durante la fase che precedette l'invasione tedesca dell'Unione Sovietica il 22 giugno 1941. Gli interrogativi sono quelli già affrontati da altri storici. Perché Stalin stipulò un trattato di amicizia e un protocollo segreto con la Germania nazista? Perché Hitler decise d'invadere l'Urss? Perché Stalin rifiutò di credere ai preoccupati rapporti dei suoi generali? Quali fattori impedirono a Hitler di realizzare il suo disegno? Quali furono gli effetti della guerra tedesco-sovietica sulle altre vicende della Seconda guerra mondiale? Le risposte sono particolarmente convincenti e contribuiscono a ridimensionare alcune delle leggende che si sono accumulate dal 1941 a oggi. ( )
