About the Author:
Roger Moorhouse is an historian and author specialising in modern German history. He is the co-author, with Norman Davies, of Microcosm: Portrait of a Central European City, and the author of Killing Hitler and Berlin at War.
Review:
"The Devils' Alliance is a marvellous achievement. No event was more crucial to the outbreak of the Second World War than the Nazi-Soviet Pact of August 1939, and no-one is better qualified to explore its grim implications than Roger Moorhouse" -- Norman Davies "Superbly researched and academically impeccable, yet written with all the pace of a thriller, The Devils' Alliance shines a powerful beam into one of the undeservedly least known aspects of the Second World War" -- Andrew Roberts "Meticulous and vividly readable... Moorhouse's grim and compelling book could not be more topical" * Sunday Telegraph * "A highly enjoyable history written with verve and attention to detail" * Financial Times * "Superb" -- Brendan Simms * Wall Street Journal *
