This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the political
thought of Joseph Stalin. Making full use of the documentation that
has recently become available, including Stalin's private library
with his handwritten margin notes, the book provides many insights
on Stalin, and also on western and Russian Marxist intellectual
traditions. Overall, the book argues that Stalin's political
thought is not primarily indebted to the Russian autocratic
tradition, but belongs to a tradition of revolutionary patriotism
that stretches back through revolutionary Marxism to Jacobin
thought in the French Revolution. It makes interesting comparisons
between Stalin, Lenin, Bukharin and Trotsky, and explains a great
deal about the mindset of those brought up in the Stalinist era,
and about the era's many key problems, including the industrial
revolution from above, socialist cultural policy, Soviet treatment
of nationalities, pre-war and Cold War foreign policy, and the
purges.
