À propos de ce contenu audio

 From the author of the international bestseller On Tyranny, the definitive history of Hitler’s and Stalin’s politics of mass killing, explaining why Ukraine has been at the center of Western history for the last century.

Americans call the Second World War "The Good War."But before it even began, America's wartime ally Josef Stalin had killed millions of his own citizens--and kept killing them during and after the war. Before Hitler was finally defeated, he had murdered six million Jews and nearly as many other Europeans. At war's end, both the German and the Soviet killing sites fell behind the iron curtain, leaving the history of mass killing in darkness.

Bloodlands is a new kind of European history, presenting the mass murders committed by the Nazi and Stalinist regimes as two aspects of a single history, in the time and place where they occurred: between Germany and Russia, when Hitler and Stalin both held power. Assiduously researched, deeply humane, and utterly definitive, Bloodlands will be required reading for anyone seeking to understand the central tragedy of modern history.

Bloodlands won twelve awards including the Emerson Prize in the Humanities, a Literature Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Leipzig Award for European Understanding, and the Hannah Arendt Prize in Political Thought. It has been translated into more than thirty languages, was named to twelve book-of-the-year lists, and was a bestseller in six countries. Autriche et Hongrie Europe Militaire Moderne

    "A superb and harrowing history."—Financial Times
    "Genuinely shattering.... I have never seen a book like it."—Istvan Deak, New Republic
    "A brave and original history of mass killing in the twentieth century."—Anne Applebaum, New York Review of Books
    "A magisterial work.... Snyder's account in engaging, encyclopedic."—Foreign Affairs
    "Gripping and comprehensive.... Mr. Snyder's book is revisionist history of the best kind: in spare, closely argued prose, with meticulous use of statistics, he makes the reader rethink some of the best-known episodes in Europe's modern history."—Economist
    "Snyder...compels us to look squarely at the full range of destruction committed first by Stalin's regime and then by Hitler's Reich.... A comprehensive and eloquent account."—New York Times Book Revew
    "A superb work of scholarship, full of revealing detail, cleverly compiled...and in places beautifully written.... Snyder does justice to the horror of his subject through the power of storytelling."—The Sunday Times (London)

    It’s a fascinating topic and I was very excited after reading the intro of this book. In a way it did not disappoint: the book is packed with precious factual info and is very useful to describe many shocking political decisions and horrendous human consequences that are still today mostly hidden or undermined in (my) mainstream History of (Western) Europe. To me it’s like discovering another whole holocaust behind the first one, something that my history books had just mentioned in passing like some secondary event... The knowledge in this book is enlightening and inspiring to me to understand better today’s people and geopolitics of Eastern Europe especially in countries like Poland and Ukraine. Indeed as the book rightly points in its introduction: we can never build a common future together unless we look at and understand our shared history from every point of view. I had never looked at the 1930’s and WW2 from the perspective of Eastern European countries: this book made it possible for me to be less of an idiot on what the people in these countries went through then and consequently how they look at the world now. I hope every world diplomat, EU actor and ideally every politician in Europe learns about all the evidence gathered there. This story of the “bloodlands” is like a massive scale Harvey Weinstein story or the scandal of sexual abuses in the Catholic Church: something everyone “kind of” knows or has vaguely heard about, but that has yet to be publicly acknowledged and taken into account by society, politics and circles of power. This book takes a step toward that. So to me it’s a very powerful story and some amazing research to back it up.

    Unfortunately, I am going to have to give up on ever finishing listening to the audible version of this book. I can never listen to more than 30mn of it without falling asleep. I can’t figure whether it’s the (very) monotonous reading, or perhaps the writing/ structure of the book, or perhaps me (possibly it’s not a bedtime reading) but I just can’t get into it. I’m trying to focus on some specific chapters not to miss out too much on the tremendous research this obviously required. It feels to me like some amazing content I can’t reach because I can’t stay focused and awake...very frustrating!

    Powerful story, amazing content but boring setting
