Just came across this absolute trashfire of a book by an American prof. I know these revisionist takes about WWII are a dime a dozen… but this one seems particularly egregious in its claims that Stalin masterminded World War II and that the only reason for the USSR’s success was that the stupefied Allies fell for his dastardly plan.

This level of brazen stupidity and/or disingenuousness borders on incomprehensible.

    Once again I wish communists were as powerful as Cold War propaganda says they are.
