Discover the harrowing truths of history with 'Bloodlands' by Timothy Snyder. This compelling B-format paperback, newly released in 2011, reveals the shocking realities of the Nazi and Soviet regimes in Eastern Europe and the devastating toll of their brutality. Spanning the bloodlands from Berlin to Moscow, Snyder illuminates the tragic fate of fourteen million innocents who lost their lives in one of history’s darkest chapters. 'Bloodlands' dives deep into the killing fields stretching from central Poland to western Russia, where an average of one million victims, primarily women, children, and the elderly, were murdered each year from 1933 to 1945.

Through meticulous research and poignant testimonies gleaned from letters, diaries, and notes found on corpses, Snyder gives a voice to the silenced victims.

Description:
Under Hitler and Stalin the Nazi and Soviet regimes murdered fourteen million people in the bloodlands between Berlin and Moscow.
The killing fields extended from central Polads to western Russia. For twelve savage years, on this bloodsoaked soil an average of one million individuals - mostly women, children and the aged - were murdered every year. Though in 1939 these lands became battlefields, not one of these fourteen million was killed in combat. They were victims of a murderous policy, not casualties of war.
Int his deeply unsettling and revelatory book, Timothy Snyder gives voice to the testimony of the victims through the letters home, the notes flung from trains, the diaries on corpses. It is a brilliantly researched, profoundly humane and authoritative bok that demands we pay attention to those that history is in danger of forgetting.
