Product Review
this is an important contribution to the history of German-Soviet relations during the era of the Nazi-Soviet pact as well as to the history of World War II in Europe.American Historical Review
There is no question that the book makes an original contribution to the body of scholarship that seeks to understand the complicated relationship that existed between Hitler and Stalin and why Hitler finally decided to embark on the operation that ultimately decided the course of the Second World War.The Journal of Military History
The author's account of the negotiations is sensible and balanced.this book is a timely and scholarly contribution to the history of World War II which will be welcomed by economic and military historians and students of international relations.The Journal of Slavic Military Studies
Product Description
The dramatic story of Hitler and Stalin's marriage of convenience has been recounted frequently over the past sixty years, but with remarkably little consensus. As the first English-language study to analyze the development, extent, and importance of the Nazi-Soviet economic relationship from Hitler's ascension to power to the launching of Operation Barbarossa in June 1941, this book highlights the crucial role that Soviet economic aid played in Germany's early successes in World War II. When Hitler's rearmament efforts left Germany dangerously short of raw materials in 1939, Stalin was able to offer valuable supplies of oil, manganese, grain, and rubber. In exchange, the Soviet Union would gain territory and obtain the technology and equipment necessary for its own rearmament efforts. However, by the summer of 1941, Stalin's well-calculated plan had gone awry. Germany's continuing reliance on Soviet raw materials would, Stalin hoped, convince Hitler that he could not afford to invade the USSR. As a result, the Soviets continued to supply the Reich with the resources that would later carry the Wehrmacht to the gates of Moscow and nearly cost the Soviets the war. The extensive use in this study of neglected source material in the German archives helps resolve the long-standing debate over whether Stalin's foreign policy was one of expansionism or appeasement.
