Hitler vs. Stalin

In this provocative revisionist analysis of the Eastern Front in World War II, noted historian John Mosier argues that the conventional narrative of Soviet triumph over the Germans is largely a myth. In fact, says Mosier, Hitler came very close to winning, losing only because of the intervention of the western Allies. Ultimately, The Great Patriotic War, as it is known in Russia, would prove fatal, setting in motion events that would culminate in the collapse of the Soviet Union.
