"Putting the “u” back in Gulag"

Review by Vinko on 18th July, 2022

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Exceptionally well researched and eloquently written book that offers a more personable account of the personalities of Stalin and his inner circle. Equally insightful and chilling. Highly recommend to anyone with an interest in Soviet/Post-Soviet history and/or the psychology of evil

Description

Winner of the British Book Awards History Book of the Year Longlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize This thrilling biography of Stalin and his entourage during the terrifying decades of his supreme power transforms our understanding of Stalin as Soviet dictator, Marxist leader and Russian tsar. Based on groundbreaking research, Simon Sebag Montefiore reveals in captivating detail the fear and betrayal, privilege and debauchery, family life and murderous cruelty of this secret world. Written with extraordinary narrative verve, this magnificent feat of scholarly research has become a classic of modern history writing. Showing how Stalin's triumphs and crimes were the product of his fanatical Marxism and his gifted but flawed character, this is an intimate portrait of a man as complicated and human as he was brutal and chilling.
