Though seldom in the public eye, it was Alanbrooke who saved the British Army at Dunkirk. His genius and fantastic energy produced a brilliant world-wide strategic plan; his persistence and persuasiveness pushed it through top-level conferences to final adoption by all of the Allies. He wrote his diaries for his wife so that she might share his feelings, and that the war would not come between them -- he wrote honestly, and this book that has sprung from his diaries is filled with intimate, close-up accounts of the great figures who led the fight against the Axis in the years 1939-1943.

	BULLOCK, ALAN. Hitler and Stalin: Parallel Lives. New York: Alfred A Knopf 1992. 1st American Edition. Hardbound 8vo (9.5 inches tall) 1081 pages. Notes, glossary, bibliography, index. Description: Includes four sections of b&w plates and a few maps. A full-scale dual biography. Alan Bullock examines Hitler and Stalin against the background of Berlin-Moscow relations. Bullock argues that, in order to show how two such outsiders came to power, it is necessary to take into account both the historical circumstances that gave them an opportunity and the highly individual traits and gifts each man used to exploit it. He goes on to explore the nature and scope of their power. He finds in both Hitler and Stalin, despite the radical differences between them, the same unshaken belief in their historic missions, overriding any regard for law, limits, or humanity and armoring them against an feeling of compassion, remorse, or guilt. The book culminates in the clash between the German and Soviet armies on the Eastern front.

Submarine tracking rooms in London, Washington, and Ottawa coordinated their efforts to contribute greatly to the success of the campaign. The author, a former naval intelligence officer, traces the efforts of that coordination, and identifies the factors and personalities that aided, or in some cases, hindered the efforts. He also compares the different methods of operation and intelligence gathering used by different allied agencies, and shows how rivalries sometimes impeded progress.

Bibliography, index. photo endpapers. Description: Includes five maps.

The author has woven extensive excerpts from the diaries of Lord Alanbrooke together with Alanbrooke's comments on the diaries made after the war. Though seldom in the public eye, it was Alanbrooke who saved the British Army at Dunkirk. His genius and fantastic energy produced a brilliant world-wide strategic plan; his persistence and persuasiveness pushed it through top-level conferences to final adoption by all of the Allies. He wrote his diaries for his wife so that she might share his feelings, and that the war would not come between them -- he wrote honestly, and this book that has sprung from his diaries is filled with intimate, close-up accounts of the great figures who led the fight against the Axis in the years 1939-1943.

	BULLOCK, ALAN. Hitler and Stalin: Parallel Lives. New York: Alfred A Knopf 1992. 1st American Edition. Hardbound 8vo (9.5 inches tall) 1081 pages. Notes, glossary, bibliography, index. Description: Includes four sections of b&w plates and a few maps. A full-scale dual biography. Alan Bullock examines Hitler and Stalin against the background of Berlin-Moscow relations. Bullock argues that, in order to show how two such outsiders came to power, it is necessary to take into account both the historical circumstances that gave them an opportunity and the highly individual traits and gifts each man used to exploit it. He goes on to explore the nature and scope of their power. He finds in both Hitler and Stalin, despite the radical differences between them, the same unshaken belief in their historic missions, overriding any regard for law, limits, or humanity and armoring them against an feeling of compassion, remorse, or guilt. The book culminates in the clash between the German and Soviet armies on the Eastern front.
