Answered a promptWhat book are you still thinking about?
Perfect balance between easy to read and informative; simplified basics but still plenty of factual details, so not dumbed down as many books of this "introduction to" kind. Also, plenty of illustrations (mostly historical Japanese art, so not that informative, but beautiful).

The book is well written and well informed (constantly more/better on Stalin than Hitler, constantly going deeper and more into subtleties in the personal level interactions, while the Nazi half stays more into general) but the comparative format (1 Hitler chapter, 1 Stalin and so on) is tiring and distracting. This could have been a good book (on Hitler) and an excellent book (on Stalin), but mixed together it turns mediocre at best.
