STALIN'S PLANS FOR CAPTURING GERMANY
Drawing on a host of internal Soviet Politburo discussions, memoranda, and speeches, this book shows that the Soviet Union was a heavily militarized state that incessantly planned to unleash a great, ideologically-motivated war against the rest of the world. In fact, its entire political life revolved around the question of war, especially following the onset of the Great Depression in 1929, which convinced Soviet leaders of the imminent collapse of the capitalist system abroad.

Slowed down by countless devastating setbacks, Stalin was nevertheless able to amass a gigantic army by the late 1930s. When Hitler approached Stalin in 1939 asking for Soviet neutrality in his planned invasion of Poland, Stalin sensed a golden opportunity: by supporting Hitler, he could turn the European powers against each another, allowing him to intervene once they were sufficiently weakened. However, Stalin miscalculated: Hitler beat both Poland and France in less than a year and then turned against Moscow in 1941, long before Stalin was ready for his own attack.1 vol, 456 pgs 2023 UK, PEN & SWORD
