Robert Gellately

Robert Gellately, born in nineteen forty-three, is a distinguished historian and university teacher with a focus on the intricate histories of Nazi Germany, the Holocaust, and the Soviet Union during the eras of Lenin and Stalin.

His groundbreaking research on the Gestapo reveals a compelling narrative: the mechanisms of Nazi terror were significantly bolstered by the denunciations of ordinary German citizens, rather than solely relying on an omnipresent state surveillance apparatus.

Gellately's scholarly contributions include several influential works, such as 'The Gestapo and German Society' published in nineteen ninety, 'Backing Hitler' in two thousand one, 'Lenin, Stalin and Hitler' in two thousand seven, 'Stalin's Curse' in two thousand thirteen, and 'Hitler's True Believers' in two thousand twenty. His writings have reached a global audience, being translated into more than thirty languages.
