Blood and Fire will analyse a struggle that is as fascinating as it was tumultuous: the battle fought between Russia and Germany for control of Europe, a century-defining conflict of which still reverberates today.
Beginning with the Russian revolution and climax of the Great War and extending to the end of World War Two, Professor Norman Stone explores the political and social developments within these twin global powerhouses, the rise of Hitler and Stalin, and their relationships - with each other and with the watching world. From their early understanding at the end of the First World War to the titanic clash that followed Hitler's invasion in 1941, Stone sheds light on this bloody rivalry as only he can, explaining with authority and panache what it meant not only for these giants but also for the world around them.
