- Summary
- A biography of Joseph Stalin, a leader who obsessed over slights yet was a precocious geostrategic thinker--unique among Bolsheviks--and yet who made egregious strategic blunders. Through it all, we see Stalin's unflinching persistence, his sheer force of will--perhaps the ultimate key to understanding his indelible mark on history. Draws on Kotkin's exhaustive study of Soviet archival materials as well as vast scholarly literature
