Hitler and Stalin. Two tyrants, two sides of the same coin. The bestselling historian on the dramatic wartime relationship - and shocking similarities - between the dictators.Hitler led with charisma, Stalin ruled with fear, where Hitler was steadfast in his decisions, Stalin moved and shifted like a Machiavellian.The two tyrants were bitter opponents, leading Germany and the Soviet Union in the biggest and bloodiest war in history, yet they were strikingly similar.
