Stalin: Breaker of NationsViking, 1991 - 346 pages A biography of the man who terrorized his country for thirty years and inflicted the Cold War on the rest of the world. A chilling portrait of a progressively paranoid leader who ruled by terror and falsification, deported millions to slave labor camps, engineered the famine of 1932 that killed some 5 million Ukranians, and launched an anti-Semitic campaign of murders and arrests. The author presents the landmarks of Stalin's rule: the clash with Lenin, collectivization, the great Terror, the Nazi-Soviet pact and the Nazi-Soviet war, the anti-Semitic campaign that preceded his death, and the legacy he left behind. |
