Description
Biography of the ruthless dictator, Joseph Stalin, which gives an insightful account of the experiences and influences that shaped his actions. This book gives a compelling account of Stalin's life, from his youth in Georgia to his suspicious death in Moscow. It explains how he rose to power to eventually control his country with a "fist of steel" and propell it into the Cold War. Fascinating quotations and archive photographs bring his personality to life, while authoritative texts analyse his place in history.
