Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini

"Crisply written and authoritative, Bruce Pauley’s updated edition of this classic text offers
students an invaluable comparative account of the three great dictatorships of
earlier twentieth century Europe. He takes his readers through the main
historical debates while providing considered guidance to the wider
literature."

"In this new edition of his classic text, Bruce Pauley puts the dominant figures of the horrific first half
of twentieth-century Europe into a comparative perspective. Whoever wishes to
understand totalitarianism and dictatorship must turn to Pauley’s book. One of
the leading experts of European history, he provides his readers with
magnificent portraits of the persons responsible for Europe’s darkest
period."
