re: #189 De Kolta Chair

De Kolta’s Book of the Month Club Pick: Anne Applebaum’s “Iron Curtain; The Crushing of Eastern Europe 1944-1956” (Doubleday, 2012). Superbly researched, very well written, and incredibly depressing.

Now go find a copy of “Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin”
by Timothy Snyder. 12 years, 14 million dead between them in Poland and the Ukraine.
