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 clash 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.

The essential facts are here, and Conquest paints a vivid picture of Stalin's cruel, vengeful, suspicious character. How did he get that way? It's beyond the powers of any biographer to answer such a question. The real mystery is why his peers allowed Stalin to maneuver himself into a position where he could wreak such havoc. Time and again he was given a tremendous amount of latitude, and even Lenin (who, of course, had his own flaws) realized too late that something had been profoundly wrong with Stalin from the beginning.
