Bibliographical Notes. "Robert Conquest [1917-2015], the foremost authority on the Stalinist period of Soviet history, focuses on Stalin's terrifying character, a monster let loose among humanity. Hitler called him a 'beast on the grand scale'. This book is the culmination of a lifetime's work, a masterly portrait of a man who 'perhaps more than any other determined the course of the twentieth century'." - back cover. "Conquest tells the tale with an informed hatred for his subject, and a fine sense of irony which makes the book indispensable reading'. - A.N. Wilson. Paul Johnson, close advisor to Margaret Thatcher, described Conquest as "our greatest living historian." - online reference. Clean and unmarked with moderate wear. Contents gently toning at edges. Tight and square. A special addition to the shelf of any serious sovietologist..
