ISBN: 9780140169539 - stalin alive and dead cold: breaker of nations (16 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. 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.…
