Description

A Financial Times Best Book of the Year
Winner of the Norris and Carol Hundley Award
Winner of the US-Russia Relations Book Prize

"The achievement of a lifetime."
--Stephen Kotkin, author of Stalin

"Naimark has few peers as a scholar of Stalinism, the Soviet Union and 20th-century Europe, and his latest work Stalin and the Fate of Europe is one of his most original and interesting."
--Financial Times

"A timely and instructive account not merely of our own history but also of our fractious, unsettling present."
--Daniel Beer, The Guardian

"Adds an abundance of fresh knowledge to a time and place that we think we know, clarifying the contours of Soviet-American conflict by skillfully enriching the history of postwar Europe."
--Timothy Snyder, author of Bloodlands

Was the division of Europe after World War II inevitable? In this powerful reassessment of the postwar order, Norman Naimark suggests that Stalin was far more open to a settlement than we have thought. Through revealing case studies from Poland and Yugoslavia to Finland and Albania, Naimark recasts the early Cold War by focusing on Europeans' fight to determine their future.

With Western occupation forces in central Europe and Soviet forces controlling most of the continent's eastern half, European leaders had to nimbly negotiate outside pressures. For some, this meant repelling Soviet dominance. For others, it meant enlisting the Americans to support their aims. Revealing an at times surprisingly flexible Stalin and showing European leaders deftly managing their nations' interests, Stalin and the Fate of Europe uncovers the lost potential of an alternative trajectory before 1949, when the Cold War split became irreversible.
