This new biography of Stalin offers an accessible and up-to-date
representation of one of the twentieth-century's defining figures,
as well as new insights, analysis and illumination to deepen our
understanding of his actions, intentions and the nature of the
power that he wielded. Christopher Read examines Stalin's
contribution to and impact on Russian and world events in the first
half of the twentieth century. The biography brings together the
avalanche of sources and scholarship which followed the collapse of
the system Stalin constructed, including the often neglected
writings and speeches of Stalin himself. In addition to a detailed
narrative and analysis of Stalin's rule, chapters also cover his
early years and humble beginnings in a small town at a remote
outpost of the Russian Empire, his role in the revolution, his
relationships with Lenin, Trotsky and others in the 1920s, and his
rise to become one of the most powerful figures in human history.
The book closes with an account of Stalin's afterlife and legacy,
both in the immediate aftermath of his death and in the decades
since. This concise account of Stalin's life is the perfect
introduction for students of modern Russian history.
