Description

This biographical companion covers Stalin's life and political career from 1879 to 1953, and in particular describes the more personal side of the man who orchestrated the Great Terror of the 1930s and constructed the Soviet monolith. The volume contains entries on the individuals, many of them victims, who became caught up in Stalin's life and career, and makes use of information now available from archival sources opened since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Reviews

"Articles are clearly written and vocabulary is accessible to students at the secondary school level and above. Recommended as a reference source in public libraries and in high school and college libraries where a curriculum need exists." - Booklist "Both books are factual and well written ... Fascinating lives make a fascinating reading and both these volumes are not only useful as references, but they offer interesting insights... Both will be of use in libraries where there is demand, and, as with the other books in this series, larger academic and public libraries may want these books in circulation." - Against the Grain
