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.
That was my nearly immediate disillusionment with college too. I thought it was supposed to be a place where you actually learn and have deep discussion and thought, and it was just more beating you over the head with ‘right-thought’ but this time you’re paying for it so you will accept it.
