One of the great works of modern history - the definitive biography of one of the world's most powerful and frightening rulers.
Stephen Kotkin has a fair claim to be considered as the greatest living expert on Stalin. He is the author of the highly-praised Stalin- Paradoxes of Power, 1878-1928 and Magnetic Mountain- Stalinism as a Civilization and Armageddon Averted- The Soviet Collapse, 1970-2000. He is Professor of History at Princeton University.
