In a twelve-year-period, in these killing fields - today's Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Western Russia and the eastern Baltic coast - an average of more than one million citizens were slaughtered every year, as a result of deliberate policies unrelated to combat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this book Timothy Snyder offers a ground-breaking investigation into the motives and methods of Stalin and Hitler and, using scholarly literature and primary sources, pays special attention to the testimony of the victims, including the letters home, the notes flung from trains, the diaries on corpses. The result is a brilliantly researched, profoundly humane, authoritative and original book that forces us to re-examine one of the greatest tragedies in European history and re-think our past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTimothy Snyder\u003c\/b\u003e has been called 'the leading interpreter of our dark times'. As a historian, he has given us startling reinterpretations of political collapse and mass killing. As a public intellectual, he has turned that knowledge towards counsel and prediction, working against authoritarians and populists. After a quarter century at Yale, he now teaches history at the Munk School in the University of Toronto and his books, which have been published in over forty languages, include \u003ci\u003eBloodlands\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBlack Earth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOn Tyranny\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRoad to Unfreedom\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOur Malady\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e On Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e.
