[i]No simple Victory: World War II in Europe, 1939-1945[/i]

Norman Davies REALLY hates Stalin. And Norman Davies REALLY wants to let you know all about it. Over and over and over again.

Excellent and balanced analysis of the wartime situation. Bleeding heart commemoration of every boy and his dog killed by the soviet regime. Occasionally it fits, most of the time it is just anecdotal irrelevancies. He also has a soft spot for Poland, you'd think there were more poles in the western armies than Canadians and Free French.

Don't get me wrong, the book is extremely detailed and deserves reading if you want a political evaluation of the war. The evidence is certainly well-researched and certainly not distorted. Davies just happens to really hate the soviets
