But withdrawing after so many Russians gave their lives would be maybe one of the biggest military blunders in the history of Russia, I know what Stalin would do

Please read literally 1 paragraph of Russian history. This has been their tactic for hundreds of years

It's super oversimplified pop history. I haven't read it so my critique will all be second hand. But it's a book that started with a firm idea of what it wanted to say, did no rigorous study, and claimed it was right about everything.

Most serious history books will start with a theory but will critique their own theory in the text, or will just do a rigorous study and develop themes and ideas not a central hypothesis. To boil down colonialism and the power of the west to "Guns Germs and Steel" is just a huge disservice to the history meant to appeal to morons.

I guess it might be better than nothing but I haven't read it and colonialization and indigenous stuff isn't something I'm super well versed in.
