Stalin: The Court of the red Tsar
Simon Sebag Montefiore
Synopsis "Stalin: The Court of the red Tsar"
NATIONAL BESTSELLER - This widely acclaimed biography of a Soviet dictator and his entourage during the terrifying decades of his supreme power transforms our understanding of the Marxist leader and Russian tsar. - From the bestselling author of The Romanovs. "The first intimate portrait of a man who had more lives on his conscience than Hitler.... Disturbing and perplexing." --The New York Times Book Review Based on groundbreaking research, Simon Sebag Montefiore reveals the fear and betrayal, privilege and debauchery, family life and murderous cruelty of this secret world. Written with bracing narrative verve, this feat of scholarly research has become a classic of modern history writing. Showing how Stalin's triumphs and crimes were the product of his fanatical Marxism and his gifted but flawed character, this is an intimate portrait of a man as complicated and human as he was brutal and chilling.
