BLOODLANDS EUROPE BETWEEN HITLER AND STALIN

BLOODLANDS EUROPE BETWEEN HITLER AND STALIN
  BY Timothy Snyder
This is a seemingly well researched book about the slaughter of millions of people in the lands of Eastern Europe and Russia by both Hitler and Stalin. 

There is however, nary a mention of the Romani people who were slaughtered in these lands during the years before and during the "Porraimos" or Great Devouring of the Romani.

This either reflects shoddy research or a deliberate, dare one say, racist indifference to the fate of Europe's Gypsies.

And the beat goes on.

I cannot recommend this book.
