Alan Bullock was een Britse historicus wiens werk zich richtte op sleutelfiguren uit de 20e eeuw. Hij verwierf faam door zijn uitgebreide biografieën van Adolf Hitler, waarin hij nauwgezet zijn machtsgreep en onderliggende ideologie onderzocht. Bullock's perspectief evolueerde in de loop der tijd, aanvankelijk portretteerde hij Hitler als een opportunistische politicus om hem later te erkennen als een gedreven ideoloog. Zijn vergelijkende studies, zoals 'Hitler en Stalin: Parallelle Levens', belichten verder de aard van tegengestelde regimes. Bullock's precieze proza en diepgaande analyse vestigen hem als een belangrijke stem in de historische wetenschap.
A comparative study of the lives and careers of Hitler and Stalin. Alternate chapters on each serve both to draw contrasts and highlight parallels. The author gives his reasons for believing that the key to an understanding the character of the two is the same.

Throughout God's Word it is clear that our Father longs for us to have an intimate relationship with Him.
