Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

John Sackville’s voice serves as an anchor in this sprawling audiobook. His measured tone conveys the gravity of Rees’ narrative without overwhelming it with emotion. Each chapter unfolds like a well-crafted film, thanks to the precise pacing and thoughtful pauses that allow the listener to absorb the weighty subject matter. The narration is particularly effective during the tense sections leading up to World War II, where Sackville skillfully balances tension and empathy. However, at times, the rapid-fire delivery of historical facts can make it challenging to keep track of all the names and dates. Despite this minor critique, 'Hitler and Stalin' remains a powerful exploration of one of history’s darkest periods.
