描述
By: Robert Conquest
Of all the despots of our time, Joseph Stalin lasted the longest and wielded the greatest power, and his secrets have been the most jealously guarded—even after his death.
In this book, the first to draw from recently released archives, Robert Conquest gives us Stalin as a child and student; as a revolutionary and communist theoretician; as a political animal skilled in amassing power and absolutely ruthless in maintaining it. He presents the landmarks of Stalin’s rule: the class with Lenin; collectivization; the Great Terror; the Nazi-Soviet pact and the Nazi-Soviet war; the anti-Semitic campaign that preceded his death; and the legacy he left behind.
Distilling a lifetime’s study, weaving detail, analysis, and research, Conquest has given us an extraordinarily powerful narrative of this incredible figure.
“Thoughtful and thorough and shot through with insight.”—The Washington Post Book World
“Definitive . . . a magnificent, even poetic, act of historical retribution.”—The New Leader
“Brilliant . . . this book probably is the most cogent and readable account of Stalin’s life yet published.”—The San Diego Union
