Summary |
"'If you can imagine a personality who in every respect is the opposite of what the anti-Stalinists are telling us everywhere, then you get a rough idea of this man.' - US Amb. J.E. Davies. This book, mainly first-hand accounts from those who knew and worked with Stalin, and his own words and writings, aims to correct the false narrative we've been fed for 70 years"-- Provided by publisher |
