London England: BBC Book Publishing. Near Fine/Near Fine. 2008. First Edition. Cloth. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo 9780563493358 Harback Hardback. First Edition. World War Two. Behind Closed Doore . Drawing on material only available since the opening of archives in the East, Rees re-examines the key choices made by Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt during the war. And as the truth about Stalin's earlier friendly relationship with the Nazis is laid bare, a devastating and surprising picture of the Soviet leader emerges. The emotional core of the book is the amazing new testimony obtained from nearly a hundred separate witnesses from the period. Former Soviet secret policemen talk frankly for the first time about their repressive work; Allied seamen reveal how they braved the Arctic convoys; and Red Army veterans talk of how they killed Germans in hand-to-hand fighting on the Eastern Front. The enthralling narrative is a mix of high politics - including the inside story of the Allies' meeting at Tehran, Yalta and Potsdam - and the dramatic personal experiences of those on the ground who bore the consequences of their decisions. This book is an ambitious, challenging and engaging history of the war unlikely any that has been written before.
