Lest we forget, "Deals with the Devil"

Lest we forget. . “Deals with the devil never pay off.”  The infamous Molotov-Ribbentrop or the Nazi-Soviet pact, signed August 23, 1939, The pact divided Eastern Europe into German and Soviet spheres of influence. Germany invaded Poland on Sept 1, and Stalin marched into Poland on Sep. 17. The pact freed Hitler from a war on two fronts and made possible Hitler’s stunning expansion over Europe during the next two years. The Nazis double crossed Stalin and invaded Russia on June 22, 1941. Check out my two books on Russia and Ukraine: “Klara’s Journey,” (Marion Street Press) an historical novel, http://amzn.to/13Sp769 and “The Scattered Tribe, Traveling the Diaspora from Cuba to India to Tahiti & Beyond, “ (Globe Pequot Press)  a travel narrative, http://amzn.to/J3Z47T.
