from these pages is more complete, more colorful, more chilling,
and far more convincing than any we have had before.” —The New

of hitherto unknown (or unreported) facts about Stalin's
life.” —Men's Vogue
“A meticulously researched, authoritative biography. . . . Mr.
Montefiore has found the devil in the details, working his way with
a fine-tooth comb through previously unread archival
material.” —The New York Times

fascinating tale of life in the revolutionary underground, drenched
