Brainwashing: The False History of the Great War

The harshest and most uncompromising book by a leading military historian—an anti-Stalinist!

With a minimum of numbers and technical details, relying on common sense, clear logic, and undeniable facts, the author mocks the clumsy tricks of historical charlatans trying to confuse people’s minds with deliberate and blatant lies. On these pages, the reader will encounter once again numerous Soviet and the newest pseudo-historical fabrications. “The General Agreement between the NKVD and the Gestapo,” “the secret Stalin plot for the war’s beginning,” “the defense plan for 1941,” “through transport of Red Army units to the English Channel,” “Stalin’s secret negotiations with Wolf in Mtsensk,” and much, much more—these are examples of the fantastic nonsense the author exposes.

Mark Solonin is sure that the recently emerged genre of “documentary fakes,” as well as the broad and unimpeded distribution of works by graphicomanes, are extremely dangerous and therefore must be met with decisive and firm resistance from the scholarly community. That is the goal of this book.
