One of the most successful dictators of the twentieth century,
Stalin transformed the Communist Party of the Soviet Union into one
of the world's leading political parties. Stalin and Stalinism
explores how he ammassed, retained and deployed power to dominate,
not only his close associates, but the population of the Soviet
Union and Soviet Empire. Moving from leader to autocrat and finally
despot, Stalin played a key role in shaping the first half of the
twentieth century with, at one time, around one-third of the planet
adopting his system. His influence lives on - despite turning their
backs on Stalin's anti-capitalism in the later twentieth century,
countries such as China and Vietnam retain his political model -
the unbridled power of the Communist Party. First published in
1983, Stalin and Stalinism has established itself as one of the
most popular textbooks for those who want to understand the Stalin
phenomenon. This updated fourth edition draws on a wealth of new
publications, and includes increased discussion on culture,
religion and the new society that Stalin fashioned as well as more
on spying, Stalin's legacy, and his character as well as his
actions. Supported by a chronology of key events, Who's Who and
Guide to Further Reading, this concise assessment of one of the
major figures of the twentieth-century world history remains an
essential read for students of the subject.
