Twenty-seven million Soviet citizens died in World War II. This is not so much a testament to their valor against the Nazi terror, as it was to the stupidity and brutality of the Communist system.
How such a valiant people could bear such a burden and then be betrayed in the end by their own leadership is what may be he vilest crime against humanity in the history of the world.
The author does a tremendous job defining the Soviet scarifice.
