Description:
From the author of The Last Tsar, the first full-scale life of Stalin to have what no previous biography has gotten hold of: the facts. Granted privileged access to Russia's secret archives, Edvard Radzinsky paints a picture of the Soviet strongman as more calculating, ruthless, and blood-crazed than has ever been described or imagined. Stalin deliberately shrouded the details of his life in tremendous secrecy, eliminating old colleagues-in-arms, personally directing purges of archives, and creating a mythology that has gone almost entirely unchallenged -- until now.
Expand description
As he did in his international bestseller, The Last Tsar, Radzinsky thrillingly brings the past to life. The Kremlin intrigues, the ceaseless round of double-dealing and backstabbing, the private worlds of the Soviet empire's ruling class -- all become, in Radzinsky's hands, as gripping and powerful as the great Russian sagas. And the riddle of that most cold-blooded of leaders, a man for whom nothing was sacred in his pursuit of absolute might -- and perhaps the greatest mass murderer in Western history -- is solved.u
