Publisher's Synopsis
Who started World War II? The same question has been asked countless times and although it has been answered via variationsin the formula, the answer itself has always been Adolf Hitler. In this book, Soviet defector and historian Viktor Suvorov shows that the USSR's part in starting the war was very much greater, and much more sinister, than has previously been assumed. He argues that Stalin, like Hitler, was intent on world domination, but that Stalin used Hitler as a stepping-stone - an "icebreaker" - to ensure Soviet participation and eventful victory in a war meant for one purpose only: the exporting and imposition throughout the world of communism. Viktor Suvorov is the author of "Soviet Military Intelligence".
