Bullock had already written a celebrated biography of Hitler in 1952 (Hitler: A Study in Tyranny). In Hitler and Stalin, he analyses the inner doctrines that made victory and unparalleled terror possible. While theorizing the lives of Hitler and Stalin, he prompts the reader with importance of the German-Russian axis in the first half of the century.[1] The book was first published by HarperCollins.

The title and structure of the book refer to the ancient Greek writer Plutarch and his Parallel Lives.
