On the 23rd of August, 1939, Stalin drank to Hitlers health.
Although these two dictators would never meet in person, the agreement they signed that day (The
Hitler-Stalin pact aka: The Ribbentrop-Molotov pact), would eventually , when broken by Hitler less than
two years later, change the outcome of the war and its ending.
Roger Moorhouse in this magnificently researched book, brings us the background, both political and at
times darkly comic, to an unprecedented look at the deal that ultimately made it possible for Hitler to go to war.
