'The Dictators is his finest book yet'
Simon Sebag Montefiore

'A masterpiece'
Niall Ferguson, Daily Telegraph, Books of the Year

They presided over the most destructive regimes in history, murdered millions and fought the most barbarous war the world had seen. Yet countless Germans and Russians worshipped them and the values they stood for. How did Hitler and Stalin come to cast such a shadow over the twentieth century?

Richard Overy's acclaimed history is the first to examine both the two regimes and the people who lived under them: how dictatorship became possible, the use of terror, the camp systems, the bond between leader and followers, and, above all, how these men managed to draw the wide consent that enabled them to kill on such a colossal scale.

'Overy's monumental comparative history is invaluable'
Michael Burleigh, Sunday Times

'compelling . . . this is a book that needed to be written'
Robert Service, Guardian

'Excellent . . . chilling . . . [a] fine new work'
Ian Kershaw, Mail on Sunday

'Dramatic . . . stimulating . . . history at its best'
Robert Pearce, History Today
