Description
To get to the top, Joseph Stalin outmaneuvered Lenin, Trotsky, Kirov, and a legion of equally ruthless revolutionaries. This accessible and easy to read reference work reveals the more personal side of the Machiavellian mastermind, who not only orchestrated the Great Terror but also forged the USSR into a world power.
Joseph Stalin: A Biographical Companion offers balanced coverage and makes use of new information from Soviet archives, while at the same time avoids mind-numbing communist jargon and terminology. Also included are scores of rare illustrations, some never before published in the West.

Reviews / Votes
Articles are clearly written and vocabulary is accessible to students at the secondary school level and above. Recommended as a reference source in public libraries and in high school and college libraries where a curriculum need exists. * Booklist * Both books are factual and well written ... Fascinating lives make a fascinating reading and both these volumes are not only useful as references, but they offer interesting insights... Both will be of use in libraries where there is demand, and, as with the other books in this series, larger academic and public libraries may want these books in circulation. * Against the Grain *More details
